Liverpool's Andoni Iraola Plays Down Bradley Barcola Injury Worries After Champions
Andoni Iraola said Bradley Barcola’s exit was only cramp after the forward’s full debut in Liverpool’s 2-1 Champions League win.
- Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola confirmed £123m forward Bradley Barcola suffered only cramp during Wednesday's 2-1 Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid, easing injury concerns after the player was forced off.
- Barcola, who joined from Paris Saint-Germain, is building match sharpness after missing pre-season; Iraola is carefully managing the forward's workload as he lacks 90-minute fitness.
- During his full debut, Barcola created two clear goalscoring chances against Atletico, with Iraola praising his positioning and stating he wants the forward "there" to make the difference.
- Ahead of Saturday's match against Fulham, Liverpool faces uncertainty regarding fellow forward Cody Gakpo, who is rated "50-50" after missing the Atletico game.
- Iraola described the team as being in a "construction phase" while conceding goals, with midfielders Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister contributing offensively to compensate.
