Bradley Barcola, Cody Gakpo and Milos Kerkez fitness update
Andoni Iraola offered a positive update on the fitness of Bradley Barcola after he was substituted during the second half of Liverpool's 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night.
The France forward was handed a first Reds start in the Champions League tie at Anfield and produced a lively performance before being forced from the field on the hour mark.
However, asked in his post-match press conference whether he is concerned about Barcola's condition, Iraola replied: "No, it is cramp. It is just cramp, there is no injury.
"With Bradley, it's about building his physical condition. We don't really know - or we didn't know until now, probably - how much he can play because he hasn't had any minutes in pre-season for PSG.
"He played 30 the other day [and] today we had some question marks, how many minutes he can give us and probably now we know.
"I'm very happy because also he has had two very clear chances against the 'keeper. He hasn't scored, but I want him there.
"There is where he has to make the difference, arriving to those spots, those positions, and I'm very happy because in - I don't know how many minutes he's played - two times against the 'keeper is a good sign with Bradley."
