Wirtz training video reveals significant Liverpool injury news.
Wirtz Offers Fitness Boost After Arsenal Win Concerns
Liverpool’s former record signing has eased injury concerns after doubts were raised about his condition following the win over Arsenal.
Florian Wirtz was taken off late in the 1-0 victory at Anfield, sparking fears that the £116 million midfielder had suffered a muscle problem. However, manager Arne Slot played down the situation when speaking to liverpoolfc.com, saying:
> “It wasn’t an injury, it was a welcome to the Premier League!
After 85 minutes, I don’t think he knew cramp could hit so many different areas — but that’s exactly what happened.”
Positive Signs From International Duty
Despite Slot’s reassurances, fans remained uneasy as Wirtz joined up with the German national team. Thankfully, new footage released by the official DFB YouTube channel shows the 22-year-old training fully — both in the gym and on the pitch.
The images of Wirtz moving comfortably alongside teammates suggest the issue was simply fatigue, not an actual injury — a welcome sign given his importance to the squad after a 31-goal contribution season with Bayer Leverkusen.
Liverpool brought Wirtz in to inject creativity into midfield, and his return to full training will be a major boost for the club and supporters alike.
Other Injury Concerns Remain
While Wirtz’s recovery is encouraging, Arne Slot is still keeping a close eye on other fitness issues. Ibou Konate also showed signs of discomfort at the end of the Arsenal match, though he has since been seen back in training.
Interestingly, the Germany training footage also included Nick Woltemade — the forward who recently joined Newcastle to cover for the injured Alexander Isak.
With just 11 days until Liverpool’s trip to Burnley, Slot will be hoping all his players come through the international break without further setbacks.
