Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola is optimistic Florian Wirtz will be available for the Carabao Cup clash with Chelsea but says Dominik Szoboszlai and Victor Munoz are bigger doubts.<\/p>\n
Wirtz picked up an ankle problem in Saturday\u2019s 2-0 Premier League win over Brighton, though Iraola offered a positive update on the attacking midfielder ahead of the cup tie.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think I can help you a lot. We still have to wait until later,\u201d Iraola said ahead of the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cFlorian was quite fine. I\u2019m quite optimistic that he will be available.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd with Dom and Victor, I\u2019m not so sure. I don\u2019t want to say no, but I think it\u2019s going to be more difficult than Florian.\u201d<\/p>\n
Iraola also confirmed he plans to make changes to his starting line-up against Chelsea as he manages the workload of his squad during a busy period.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will definitely be changes, but we want to win the game,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will see how the legs are.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
