Liverpool injury update: Wirtz, Szoboszlai and Munoz latest ahead of Chelsea
Liverpool are assessing a handful of fitness concerns as they prepare for Wednesday's League Cup clash with Chelsea at Anfield, with Florian Wirtz, Victor Munoz and Dominik Szoboszlai all under the spotlight.
Liverpool.com has the broadest look at the squad, noting injury latest and possible return dates for both Wirtz and Munoz, with their piece framed around the aftermath of the weekend's Premier League trip to Brighton (Liverpool.com). The Liverpool Echo narrows the focus specifically to the build-up to Chelsea, listing Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Munoz and Frimpong as the names to watch in their injury and team news ahead of the League Cup tie (Liverpool Echo).
LiverpoolFC.com, the club's own channel, confirms it is providing a fitness update on the same trio of Wirtz, Munoz and Szoboszlai, while also flagging possible changes to the side for the Chelsea match (LiverpoolFC.com). This Is Anfield covers the same three players - Wirtz, Szoboszlai and Munoz - in their own injury update, lining up with the other outlets on who the key fitness doubts are (This Is Anfield).
Where the reports differ is mainly in scope and detail. The Echo is the only outlet to add Frimpong into the mix alongside the headline trio (Liverpool Echo), while Liverpool.com's framing suggests return date estimates are being offered for at least Wirtz and Munoz (Liverpool.com). The club's own site and This Is Anfield both stick tightly to the Wirtz-Szoboszlai-Munoz group without mentioning Frimpong (LiverpoolFC.com) (This Is Anfield), though all four sources agree these are the names Liverpool fans need to keep an eye on this week.
With Chelsea due at Anfield on Wednesday evening for the League Cup, the fitness of Wirtz, Szoboszlai and Munoz in particular looks set to shape any changes to the starting line-up. Supporters will be hoping for positive updates on all fronts before kick-off.
