Arne Slot, Rob Edwards and Marco Silva faced the media on Thursday ahead of the FA Cup fifth round.
We round up the key quotes below.
LIVERPOOL
Florian Wirtz will be assessed ahead of Friday’s trip to Molineux.
The German has missed the last three matches with a back problem, but could feature for “a few minutes”.
“He trained half and half yesterday with the team.
“What I mean with that is he was a ‘joker’, you say over here I think, so he made the next step in his rehab.
“So, let’s see where he is today and if he then could be available for a few – a few – minutes tomorrow, in the best scenario.” – Arne Slot on Florian Wirtz
Slot said he has no further injury concerns from midweek.
Alexander Isak (ankle) will likely be out until April, while Conor Bradley (knee), Geovanni Leoni (knee) and Wataru Endo (foot) are on the longer-term injury list.
Slot was also asked about Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah’s recent form.
“We are not in terms of chance creation last in the league. We’re not doing that bad. We’re also the team with most ball possession so you’d expect us to create more.
“Cody and Mo [Salah] we expect and they expect from themselves to score more.
“But attacking isn’t just down to Cody and Mo in the same way defending isn’t just down to Virgil [van Dijk] and Ibou [Konate]. Let’s create even more and the goals will come.” – Arne Slot
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS
Andre is suspended for Wolves, having picked up yellow cards in the previous two rounds.
As for the rest of the squad, they came through Tuesday’s 2-1 win over Liverpool unscathed.
“We’re in a good spot, apart from Andre who is suspended, where everyone is fit and available.” – Rob Edwards
Edwards also said that Jose Sa will likely be rested amid an ongoing ankle issue.
“Tomorrow it’s not so much [a decision] because Sa’s a little bit sore still. He’s been carrying his ankle over the last few weeks and he’s a bit sore anyway so he didn’t really train today. So that decision will probably get taken out of my hands for tomorrow. He’s been feeling it for a few weeks, so we’ve had to manage it. He’s fine, he’ll be all right, but I don’t think it’ll be the right thing for tomorrow.” – Rob Edwards on Jose Sa, via Express & Star
FULHAM
Harry Wilson (ankle) is unlikely to be in contention, having missed Wednesday’s 1-0 loss to West Ham United.
“He was on the grass this morning, doing individual work. If you ask me now, for Sunday, he is unlikely to be in contention, but we have sessions on Friday and Saturday and we will make a decision.” – Marco Silva on Harry Wilson
Kevin (foot), meanwhile, underwent surgery this week and will be out for some time.
