Florian Wirtz

Wirtz (back) will be a late fitness call for Friday's FA Cup clash against Wolves, according to coach Arne Slot. "He trained half and half yesterday with the team. What I mean with that is he was a 'joker', you say over here I think, so he made the next step in his rehab. 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."

Wirtz (back) is ruled out for Tuesday's Premier League clash against Wolves and could miss Friday's FA Cup play against them as well, coach Arne Slot said in the press conference. "Not anything different than what I said after the game [on Saturday]. The game tomorrow will probably come too soon and maybe the game at the weekend as well. Let's see how that ends up. But we hope to have him back somewhere next week. Maybe earlier. Maybe a bit later. But that timescale."

Wirtz (back) is expected to remain out for Tuesday's clash against Wolverhampton, coach Arne Slot said in the press conference. "Now we are thinking it doesn't have to take too long, but Tuesday will probably be too early."

Wirtz (back) has been ruled out indefinitely due to injury, coach Arne Slot confirmed in the press conference. "Don't expect Florian to be available. That's a disappointment, something I didn't expect after last week. Sometimes that's how things can evolve. At this moment of time, I don't know [how long he will be out]."

Wirtz was a late scratch from Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to manager Arne Slot. "We don't think it is very serious, but he felt his back too much during the warm-up to start. He wasn't able to be 100 per cent or even close to 100 per cent. I think after being in this league for six, seven, or eight months, he now understands no matter how good you are on the ball, you need to be 100 per cent at this level. So, we decided not to play him. We hope and expect he will be able to be with us again next week, but you never know how things work out."
