#florian-wirtz

We 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. It's a big accomplishment for him to stay fit for such a long time because he had to stay fit to make the step up but unfortunately he is not available, which is a disappointment for him and for us, because he played really well.

We don't think it is very serious, Arne Slot said after the game. He felt his back too much during the warm-up to start. He wasn't able to be 100 per cent or close to 100 per cent. So, we decided not to play him, but hope and expect him to be with us next week.

Sport Bild: Have you ever thought that Florian Wirtz might have been better off at FC Bayern? Eberl: "We made it clear in all our discussions that we would have loved to have him at FC Bayern and that he would have been a great fit for us. Florian then chose Liverpool. I wish him all the best in representing German football in the Premier League."
