First-team coach Mike Marsh says Liverpool will not change its approach to training and recovery ahead of the club's busy winter schedule.
The club's training methods were criticised by England manager Roy Hodgson after he was told by teenage forward Raheem Sterling that he was tired ahead of Sunday's European Qualifier against Estonia.
We don't really change. Our fitness programmes have been well documented.
Hodgson responded by giving Sterling just 45 minutes of Thursday's win over San Marino before starting him on the bench for the 1-0 victory in Tallinn.
And although Liverpool now face seven games in 21 days - including two fixtures against Real Madrid and one against Premier League leaders Chelsea - Marsh said their approach would not alter.
"It's a tough fixture list with the amount of games and the quality of the opposition so we know it's going to be tough, but the more players we have available the better," Marsh told liverpoolfc.com.
"With England there has been a lot of discussion recently. We don't really change. Our fitness programmes have been well documented.
"We try to recover the players as best we can to prepare for the games.
"We have a couple of days' recovery after the game and we work with the group that don't start (the previous match) and we build up to the next game and once one game finishes we try to recover as soon as possible.
"We try different ways. We do quite a lot of analysis with the players so we break them up into smaller groups and get players' feedback in different ways."
