Liverpool's recent victory over Brighton was marred by several injury concerns, including Florian Wirtz twisting his ankle in the second half. Andoni Iraola was cautious in his assessment, stating that it didn't look serious but that the club would assess it properly. Wirtz's importance to the team has raised concerns, but a clean scan could see him return against Chelsea in the cup. The potential return date is also being considered for the Arsenal game at home.

Dominik Szoboszlai and Victor Munoz are also dealing with ongoing fitness issues, with Szoboszlai's hamstring saga dragging on and Munoz's situation lingering. Iraola has been cautious about Szoboszlai's return, suggesting a realistic return date around the Arsenal fixture on November 1st. Munoz's return is also being considered for the Chelsea or Arsenal games.

Jeremy Frimpong's hamstring issue is a concern due to his history of muscle injuries since joining Liverpool. Iraola confirmed it was a fresh issue, and the club is planning for his potential unavailability until after the international break. The loss of these creative players forces changes to Liverpool's tactics, but Iraola's measured tone suggests the club is managing the situation conservatively.

How we label and update stories

Source context

Liverpool put Brighton to the sword with a performance that left little room for argument. The passing was crisp, the control of the game was total, and the outcome was rarely in doubt once the opening goal went in. Yet, as has become a familiar pattern this season, the celebration came with a catch. Another fixture, another fitness scare, another puzzle for Andoni Iraola to solve heading into a brutal run of matches. The schedule does not offer any mercy. Chelsea arrive in the Carabao Cup last sixteen, then comes Arsenal, Fenerbahce and Crystal Palace before the squad finally gets a breather at the November international window.
