Liverpool Must Go 'Full Gas' Despite Injury Issues, Says Iraola
On Sunday, Liverpool host Brighton at Anfield in a Premier League clash where manager Andoni Iraola's side trail third-placed Brighton by four points.
Despite six players currently injured, Iraola refuses to manage minutes during the concentrated schedule, demanding his team play "full gas" to maintain intensity.
Bradley Barcola, the £123 million summer signing, is cleared to feature against the Seagulls after missing Thursday's training; Dominik Szoboszlai remains sidelined, not yet training with the group.
Winger Victor Munoz remains a significant doubt for Sunday after sustaining a knock at Brentford; he missed Tuesday's Champions League win over Villarreal and Thursday's training.
Brighton enters the weekend as the Premier League's top scorers with 23 goals in seven games; Iraola praised them as "very well coached," acknowledging the stern test ahead.
Head coach Andoni Iraola said that Dominik Szoboszlai will definitely not play in the Liverpool-Brighton match, but Victor Munoz's performance is also questionable.
