Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has kept it close to the vest, when it comes to injury news this week, ahead of the Reds massive Sunday showdown versus Arsenal. Victor Munoz (knee) and Dominik Szoboszlai (thigh) are both doubts or 50/50 or “must pass a late fitness test in order to make the matchday squad” for the crunch clash at home to the defending champions.
“And with Dom and Victor, I’m not so sure,” Iraola said on Tueasday. “I don’t want to say no, but I think it’s going to be more difficult than Florian, yes.”

As for Florian Wirtz, who was referenced there, he did return to action, and we think Munoz could do so this weekend. Dom probably will not. It is hard to say though, because Liverpool are notoriously difficult when it comes to media relations. The Merseyside club is infamous for really keeping injury/fitness news under wraps, at all times.
However, we do have four confirmed injury absentees for this weekend’s headliner fixture: Hugo Ekitike, Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong.
