Wirtz substituted injured in Liverpool victory

Liverpool FC celebrated a 2-0 victory against Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday afternoon.

However, coach Andoni Iraola has reason to be concerned.

No "serious injury"

Attacking player Florian Wirtz injured himself while attempting to stop his opponent with a foul. The German was initially able to continue playing but had to leave the pitch a few minutes later.

According to Liverpool FC, Wirtz sustained an ankle injury. However, initial signs suggest it is not a "serious injury."

Recently heavily criticised

The 23-year-old had recently come under heavy criticism. The performances of the German international have not met the expectations of the fans and officials of the Reds.

With LFC, Wirtz is in fourth place in the table after the home win, six points behind the top spot.
