Arne Slot provided an update on the fitness of Florian Wirtz ahead of Friday's FA Cup trip to Wolves, saying that the German could figure as a substitute.
Wirtz has not featured in any of Liverpool's last three games, after pulling up with a back injury during the warm-up ahead of Liverpool's away game against Nottingham Forest last month.
"He trained half and half yesterday. He made the next step in his rehab," Slot said during a press conference on Thursday. "Let's see where he is today, and he could be available tomorrow for a few minutes tomorrow in the best scenario."

Slot added that he has no fresh injury concerns going into the fifth-round meeting at Molineux. Asked whether his players came through Tuesday's loss to Wolves without any concerns, Slot replied: "Yeah, I think they did. Until now they did."
