Liverpool coach Andoni Iraola has reaffirmed his confidence in Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola while asking the wider squad to provide more goals. Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai remain unavailable with injuries sustained on international duty.
The absences leave Liverpool short of its leading scorers ahead of a Champions League visit to Lask. Iraola said he could not yet give a return date for the three players, increasing responsibility on those available.
The new attackers struggled in the defeat by Manchester City, and their early output remains below expectations. Iraola’s comments distinguish trust in their ability from the immediate need for production, with team selection constrained by the missing players rather than a confirmed change in long-term plans.
