Barcola limps out of Liverpool home debut

Bradley Barcola, Liverpool's £123 million summer signing, limped off during his home debut against Atlético Madrid in a Champions League match on Wednesday, shortly before the hour mark with what appeared to be a left calf issue. Coach Andoni Iraola confirmed post-match that it was only cramp and not an injury, explaining that Barcola lacked preseason minutes at PSG and the club was still assessing his fitness levels. Barcola was replaced by Víctor Muñoz but was able to walk off the pitch unaided, and Liverpool went on to win the game.
