Iraola has made his decision following Liverpool's narrow victory over Wrexham.
"Iraola" expressed satisfaction with "Liverpool's" performance in their narrow win over Wrexham and plans to gradually field key players against "Leeds."
Andoni Iraola, manager of the "Reds" Liverpool, said he is pleased with his team's performance after defeating Wrexham, a League Two side, 1-0 in a friendly match in the United States.
A winning goal from Rio Ngumoga in the 75th minute helped Liverpool secure their second consecutive victory under Iraola’s leadership as the new head coach.
Iraola stated, "I think we have not yet reached the level we want. Sometimes we are late, but gradually, little by little, we are getting closer and closer."
"Right now, we are playing with many young players and gradually adding senior players who haven't played with us yet so we can start the season in the best possible position."
"My idea is to give Ryan Gravenberch, Florian Wirtz, or even Jérémy Doku their first appearances in the match against Leeds."
"We will see how many minutes they can play, but we need to start integrating senior players gradually. They have had less training time, but I believe they will be ready."
Liverpool's next match will be against Leeds United on 3 Aug 2026 GMT+7.
