From the source

Three points against Brighton mattered on their own terms, but the moment that will stick from Anfield on Saturday came late on, when Florian Wirtz pulled up holding his ankle.

For a few minutes, everyone in the stadium stopped thinking about the scoreline and started thinking about the fixture list. Chelsea in the cup, Arsenal in the league, and a season that cannot afford to lose its most influential new arrival.

The early word from Wirtz himself was reassuring rather than alarming. Speaking after full time, he played the knock down, suggesting it “won’t be long” before he’s back involved, though he admitted the club would need to run proper checks first.
