Arne Slot says Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz are ‘not able’ play three full Liverpool games in a row
Arne Slot gives honest verdict on Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz fitness levels
- Liverpool manager Arne Slot has admitted that summer signings Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz are not yet fit enough to play three full matches in a single week.
- Isak, a £125m acquisition, and Wirtz, bought for £100m, have been used sparingly this Premier League season due to ongoing fitness concerns.
- The manager's comments precede a demanding fixture schedule for Liverpool, which includes matches this week against Sunderland and Leeds.
- Slot also indicated that defender Joe Gomez is not ready for successive full games, and both Wirtz and Isak have recently experienced fitness setbacks.
- Injured players Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong are unlikely to feature against Sunderland, though Bradley might be available for the Leeds match.
