Liverpool's Barcola: Cramp, Not Injury, Ahead of Fulham Clash
11 Sep
Summary
- Bradley Barcola likely available for Fulham match after only experiencing cramps.
- Cody Gakpo remains a doubt and will be assessed before Saturday's game.
- Hugo Ekitike could return in January after a long-term injury layoff.
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has provided a positive update on winger Bradley Barcola, stating he is expected to be available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Fulham. Barcola was substituted during a recent Champions League match due to cramps, but an assessment revealed no significant injury.
In contrast, Cody Gakpo's availability for the Fulham game is in doubt. Gakpo missed the midweek fixture and had not trained as of Thursday. His readiness will be evaluated in the team's final training session before the match.
Regarding long-term absentees, Iraola indicated that Hugo Ekitike is progressing well from his injury. While still some way from returning, there is a realistic chance he could be back in action by January, potentially aiding the team in the latter half of the season.
