Julian Nagelsmann has shared his insight on Florian Wirtz's difficulties at Liverpool, citing a factor beyond the player's control.
Wirtz has struggled to make an impact at Anfield, failing to score or assist in nine matches despite creating 21 chances, the most of any Premier League player.
Wirtz was even mocked by fans on social media after a chance he created was missed by Nick Woltemade during Germany's 4-0 win over Luxembourg.
Nagelsmann, who used Wirtz as a left winger in the match, revealed a key reason behind his struggles, providing context to the player's challenging start at Liverpool.
The international break has given Wirtz a temporary reprieve from his club struggles, but his performance continues to be under scrutiny.
