The Aporia · Andoni Iraola reveals Bradley Barcola latest in two-man Liverpool injury update ahead of Fulham clash

Liverpool's Andoni Iraola revealed that Bradley Barcola suffered from cramps in his first game for the team, but is expected to be available for their upcoming match against Fulham on Saturday. Barcala was replaced by Victor Munoz after an hour of play in a 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain. Iraola dismissed any serious injury concern, stating that Barcala "should be available" if everything goes normal after training later that day. The team's next match is against Fulham on Saturday, with no further information on the status of Cody Gakpo, who was missing from Tuesday's squad.

Story summary

Bradley Barcola, Liverpool's £123 million signing from Paris Saint-Germain, made his first start for the club in a Champions League match against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. Despite scoring two goals, he had to be substituted after 60 minutes due to cramp rather than injury. Manager Andoni Iraola confirmed Barcola could play in Liverpool's upcoming Premier League match against Fulham if there are no further issues. Meanwhile, Cody Gakpo, who has a goal contribution in every Premier League game this season, missed the Atletico Madrid match due to an adductor issue but is on the bench for Fulham with his availability uncertain. The team news for the Fulham clash sees Barcola starting alongside other new signings like Victor Munoz and Milos Kerkez, who also dealt with cramp during the recent Champions League tie.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
