The Dutchman has not enjoyed the same consistency he experienced at Anfield since leaving in 2021, first with Paris Saint-Germain and subsequently Roma.
Wijnaldum fell out of favour with the former and a fresh start awaited at Roma under Jose Mourinho, having signed a season-long loan deal with the Italian side last summer.
But just days after his 12-minute debut off the bench in August, Wijnaldum suffered a fractured tibia during training and was consequently sidelined for almost six months.
