Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola stated that Florian Wirtz suffered a small ankle twist during their 2-0 victory against Brighton. The 23-year-old was substituted in the 65th minute for Trey Nyoni after needing treatment on the pitch. While Iraola indicated that the issue does not look very severe, he urged caution due to the club playing matches every three days.
