It was another happy outing for Liverpool as they secured a 2-0 win against Brighton at Anfield.
The Reds took the lead through a Pascal Gross own goal, after which Alexander Isak added to their advantage with a fantastic close-range finish.
The only thing that soured Liverpool’s night was an injury to Florian Wirtz as he was substituted in the second half after an ankle injury.
However, Iraola has allayed fears that it could be a long-term injury.
Andoni Iraola’s Liverpool injury update
“It is not just about the numbers,” said Iraola on Wirtz in his post-match press conference. “It is about being better with him on the pitch.
“Unfortunately, he had to leave the pitch with a small twist of the ankle. It doesn’t look big, but we’ll see.”
The Liverpool boss also added that both Dom Szoboszlai and Victor Munoz are close to returning to action after missing out in recent weeks.
“I want all the players available. The ones that are close: Dom [Szoboszlai], Victor [Munoz]. We need these players.”
It remains to be seen if the trio feature vs Chelsea due to the short turnaround time between games, but they should be good to go for next weekend.
