And that's before consideration is given to which players might be coming in beyond new signings Jeremy Jacquet and Victor Munoz.We have been asking for your questions on the current state of play at Anfield, and here we take a punt at providing some answers...Iamjy asks: I can't see any top right-backs suitable on the market, so what's the plan? But there's no timeline on his return from a serious knee injury, and if Liverpool don't buy a right-back then they run the risk of last season all over again when Frimpong wasn't always available, Gomez's fitness wasn't guaranteed and lots of different players ended up playing out of position with diminishing returns.It's probably the biggest call Iraola will have to make in his early days - can Liverpool afford another season of potential right-back disruption?

Any legs on this one?Again, there's certainly a bit of 2+2=5 going on with Liverpool's transfer business, which isn't a surprise really given there's a new head coach in charge and he will want to properly assess his squad first before green-lighting any major deals.Arne Slot had made it clear he expected Kostas Tsimikas to return from his loan at Roma and compete with Kerkez this season, but Iraola may not be of similar mind.It's often the case players who have previously worked with a head coach are linked, and Garcia fits that mould having played for Iraola at Rayo Vallecano.
