Gerrard Urges Liverpool to Rest Wirtz After Slow Start

Steven Gerrard believes Florian Wirtz may need a spell out of Liverpool’s starting side to reset after an unconvincing opening to the season.

Gerrard’s view on Wirtz’s form

The former Liverpool captain said removing Wirtz from the team could help the player recover confidence and improve his performances.

• Wirtz has endured a disappointing start to the campaign.
• Gerrard suggested a period away from the starting XI could offer a solution.
• The aim would be to help the midfielder rebuild belief and rediscover his form.

What happens next

Liverpool’s selection decisions will determine whether Wirtz is given time to play through the difficult period or is taken out of the side as Gerrard has proposed.
