Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola says he is still determining which players can handle the physical demands of playing matches every three days as the team prepares to host Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup third round on Tuesday.

Both outlets report that Iraola’s comments come amid an uneven start to Liverpool’s Premier League season under his leadership, with the team drawing multiple games. The focus in the coverage is on how the schedule affects squad selection and rotation, as Liverpool manage player fitness for upcoming fixtures.

While the overall framing is consistent, the coverage provides limited detail beyond the workload issue and the timing of the League Cup clash. Other specifics—such as particular injuries, confirmed line-ups, or tactical decisions—are not included in the excerpts provided, leaving the emphasis on Iraola’s learning process regarding player readiness under a congested schedule.
