Florian Wirtz has a chance of making Liverpool’s matchday squad for the FA Cup fifth round clash with Wolves on Friday evening, following an injury absence. The 22-year-old is now pushing hard to be back in the fold for the FA Cup clash with Wolves, however, with Slot confirming as much to the media, saying: “He [Wirtz] trained half and half yesterday with the team.

So, let’s see where he is today and if he then could be available for a few – a few – minutes tomorrow, in the best scenario.” Should Liverpool keep Florian Wirtz fresh for Galatasaray? The fact that Wirtz is pushing to be in the squad for Friday’s game can only be a positive, with Liverpool’s No.7 becoming such a key player after a slow start, and his absence leading to a lack of creativity of late.

Slot must be careful that he doesn’t rush the Germany international back soon, though, especially with next Tuesday’s trip to Galatasaray in the Champions League around the corner. He is also a main contributor for This Is Anfield, one of the world's biggest Reds-related sites, where he writes features and news, and covers matchday content.
