Florian Wirtz missed training with Liverpool on Tuesday, dealing a blow to Arne Slot's side ahead of their Champions League clash with PSV Eindhoven. The German international sustained an injury during the November international break and was also absent from the Reds' 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Wirtz was not the only absentee, as Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley also missed Tuesday's session at the AXA Training Centre, both continuing their recovery from respective injuries. The trio are expected to be unavailable for Wednesday's European fixture.
Liverpool have endured a difficult run in the Premier League, currently sitting 12th in the table after losing six of their last seven matches. The defending champions have struggled for form, with Saturday's loss to Forest a low point.
In the Champions League, Liverpool have recorded wins over Atletico Madrid, Eintracht Frankfurt and Real Madrid, but suffered a defeat to Galatasaray. They currently occupy eighth place in the competition's league table and could climb with a win against the Eredivisie leaders.
Speaking after the Forest defeat, Slot lamented his side's failure to convert chances. He described the result as "very bad" and acknowledged his responsibility, but expressed belief that the team's fortunes would turn.
