Wirtz might play 'a few minutes' - Arne Slot's Wolves vs Liverpool FA Cup Press Conference
Description
Pre-match press conference with Liverpool manager Arne Slot ahead of Wolverhampton Wanderers v Liverpool in the FA Cup fifth round.
Slot reflects on the 2 to 1 defeat to Wolves at Molineux earlier this week, admitting it was hard to take after plenty of possession and enough chances to win, but says Liverpool now know they have to be better in a massive cup tie on Friday.
He discusses the concern around conceding late goals, Liverpool’s struggle to create enough from open play despite dominating the ball, Cody Gakpo’s output, and why he does not believe the team’s overall approach changes during matches.
Slot also says Liverpool always treat every trophy as important, confirms the FA Cup is fully on the line, and insists his side will have a strong lineup.
He adds that Florian Wirtz has taken the next step in his recovery and could be available for a few minutes in the best case scenario, while the packed schedule and a smaller squad continue to shape selection decisions.
