Wirtz explains 'liking' Mohamed Salah's controversial social post

Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz has defended his decision to endorse Mohamed Salah’s controversial social media post, which was widely interpreted as a swipe at manager Arne Slot. The Germany international dismissed suggestions of an internal squad rebellion, insisting the departing forward was merely offering an honest assessment after a turbulent season.

As the 2025-26 Premier League season draws to a close, it's time to look back on what has been a campaign full of twists and turns.

Slot confirms Salah return for Villa trip but Wirtz a doubt due to illness

Arne Slot has provided a significant fitness update ahead of Liverpool’s crucial Premier League encounter away at Aston Villa on Friday night. While talismanic forward Mohamed Salah is prepared to make his return following a two-match injury absence, the Reds may be forced to navigate the fixture without influential playmaker Florian Wirtz due to a sudden illness.

Slot provides Isak, Konate and Wirtz injury updates

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has delivered a significant triple injury boost ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash with Chelsea, confirming that Alexander Isak is set to return to the matchday squad. The Reds boss also moved to ease concerns surrounding Ibrahima Konate and Florian Wirtz after both players were notable absentees from training earlier this week.

Isak & Wirtz must salvage Ekitike-less Liverpool's grand plan

Arne Slot declared that the "future was bright" for Liverpool after Tuesday's Champions League elimination but there was no lifting the doom and gloom around Anfield. The hosts hadn't just lost yet another game to Paris Saint-Germain - they'd also lost Hugo Ekitike to injury. Indeed, what little hope Liverpool had of overturning a 2-0 first-leg deficit effectively ended the moment their only fit and in-form forward hit the deck with nobody near him.

'Isn't a failure!' - Frimpong takes inspiration from NBA star Giannis

Liverpool is having an anti-climactic end to the season after Paris Saint-Germain swatted aside Arne Slot’s men in a Champions League exit that will ensure a trophyless season for the Reds. Jeremie Frimpong has, however, dismissed the idea that the team's difficult campaign should be labelled a failure, using a famous NBA analogy to explain the club's current transition.

Time for Slot to be brave! Liverpool must let Ngumoha loose on PSG

Liverpool are still alive in this season's Champions League. Nobody quite knows how, of course. Arne Slot's side were played off the pitch by Paris Saint-Germain last week but managed to escape from the Parc des Princes with a 2-0 defeat that Jamie Carragher acknowledged actually felt like a "great result" for the visitors, given the chasm in cohesion and confidence between the two teams.
