Arne Slot has confirmed that Florian Wirtzmissed Liverpool’s Premier League match against Chelsea at Anfield due to a stomach infection. The German midfielder was not included in the matchday squad after feeling unwell throughout the week. “He tried everything to be in it. But an infection in the stomach,” Slot told TNT Sports. “He wasn’t feeling well during the week. He tried earlier in the week to train, but in the end things got worse and he wasn’t able to train with us yesterday and isn’t able to be with us today.” Wirtz will now focus on recovering ahead of Liverpool’s remaining fixtures as they look to secure a top-five finish.
