Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has instructed supervisor Arne Slot to drop new signing Florian Wirtz from the beginning line-up following the Reds’ 1-0 loss to Galatasaray within the UEFA Champions League.
Victor Osimhen’s first-half penalty proved decisive on Tuesday evening, handing Liverpool a second straight defeat after their weekend setback in opposition to Crystal Palace.
Wirtz, who joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen in the summertime, has struggled to adapt and continues to be ready for his first objective or help after eight matches in all competitions.
Carragher believes the 21-year-old midfielder is affecting the staff’s steadiness. Talking on CBS Sports activities, he mentioned:
“Proper now, I don’t suppose the steadiness of the staff is true, and the plain one which stands out is Florian Wirtz – he’s simply not on the races in any respect. He’s a younger boy coming into a brand new league and has loads of time to develop, however at this second he wants to come back out of the staff. The supervisor wants to repair it.”
The defeat leaves Slot below strain forward of Liverpool’s Premier League journey to Stamford Bridge this weekend.
