Andoni Iraola praises Jurgen Klopp's split squad approach for international break
Summary

Andoni Iraola expressed support for Jurgen Klopp's decision to split the Germany squad into two groups for the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches. Klopp has called up 44 players, including Florian Wirtz, who will join the later group after Liverpool's match against Bournemouth. Iraola believes this strategy will benefit both Wirtz and Liverpool, as it allows players to rest while still being evaluated by the national team. Klopp's split-squad approach may help Germany players return to their clubs refreshed ahead of a demanding schedule in October.
