We don't have enough wingers for start of season - Iraola

Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola says his squad lacks enough wide players to cover the start of the season, but he is confident a solution will be found. BBC Sport reported Iraola flagged the shortage ahead of the new campaign and indicated he expects to resolve the issue. The admission leaves immediate questions over how Liverpool will approach their early fixtures and how the manager will set up his side while options on the flanks are limited. Iraola's confidence suggests the club will either look to add reinforcements or adjust selection and tactics to cope until the situation changes.

Downunder Voices perspective

Why this matters

The shortage of wide players could force Liverpool to prioritise signings or alter starting line-ups for the opening matches.

REPOWR, ATBS team up to expand trailer access for owner-operators

REPOWR has partnered with American Truck Business Services to provide owner-operators with discounted access to on-demand trailers while expanding business and tax services available to carriers using its platform. Chattanooga, Tennessee-based REPOWR announced the partnership Friday with ATBS, a tax, bookkeeping and business consulting firm focused on owner-operators and independent contractors. Under the agreement, ATBS clients will gain access to same-day trailer rentals through REPOWR’s Universal Trailer Network. REPOWR customers will have access to ATBS tax and business consulting services. The arrangement is aimed at giving independent truckers greater flexibility to secure equipment without purchasing trailers or committing to long-term leases.
