Antoni Iraola assesses Liverpool squad rotation ahead of Tottenham clash
Liverpool manager Antoni Iraola is assessing his squad's ability to handle a demanding schedule of matches every three days. Ahead of the League Cup third-round fixture against Tottenham, Iraola noted that while experienced players like captain Virgil van Dijk can manage the workload without significant performance fluctuations, he is still evaluating how younger players and new signings adapt to the frequency of games.
Iraola emphasized the need to identify which players require rest to prevent a drop in performance levels. Regarding squad availability, defender Joe Gomez has returned to training and is available for selection, though Conor Bradley remains sidelined.
