Wirtz had a strong performance for Germany during the international break, providing two assists for teammate Leroy Sane. However, his absence will be a significant blow to Liverpool's chances, especially considering their recent struggles.
Liverpool has lost five of their 11 games this season, which is a concerning trend for the team. With Wirtz and Bradley out, manager Slot will need to be cautious in their approach against Forest to avoid another disappointing result.
On a positive note, goalkeeper Alisson Becker is expected to return to the pitch for Liverpool. Slot confirmed that Becker has been training and should be available to play if everything goes smoothly.
