Narrative

"He is a top player for us, he can play in any position up front, probably has played more as a left winger, but has played a little bit as a striker, even more as a right winger, so he can cover three positions up front and is a super valuable player for us,” Iraola said of the £123million summer signing from Paris Saint-Germain.

Claims (14 extracted, 2 hedged)

Isak and Gakpo each returned from international duty early with respective thigh and ankle injuries, which could lead to a new role in the attack for headline summer signing Bradley Barcola at Anfield on Sunday. uncertain
which → return → Sunday
“Cody has an ankle injury and it is a matter of him dealing with the pain,” Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola confirmed at his pre-match press conference on Friday. asserted
Iraola → have → Friday
"He is doing things individually. asserted
He → do → things
Alex has a thigh injury, it is a small injury but a muscle injury. asserted
it → have → injury
"They don't look like long-term [injuries]. asserted
They → look → injuries
We will be analysing day-to-day." asserted
We → analyse → day
With Isak and Gakpo ruled out, along with long-term injury absentee Hugo Ekitike, it means all three of Liverpool’s natural centre-forwards will be unavailable for selection against Man City. asserted
three → rule → City
Therefore, Iraola will have to get creative. asserted
Iraola → have → ?
Youngster Lewis Koumas has been nameddropped by the Reds boss, though a lack of Premier League experience is likely to be a deciding factor. asserted
lack → nameddroppe → experience
That leaves the options of using Florian Wirtz as a false nine, or having Barcola - far more comfortable on the left-wing - operate through the middle. asserted
Barcola → leave → middle
"He is a top player for us, he can play in any position up front, probably has played more as a left winger, but has played a little bit as a striker, even more as a right winger, so he can cover three positions up front and is a super valuable player for us,” Iraola said of the £123million summer signing from Paris Saint-Germain. asserted
Iraola → play → Germain
Alternatively, pushing Wirtz further forward would allow Dominik Szoboszlai to regain his favoured No10 role - perhaps recreating the double false nine tactic adopted by Arne Slot in a 2-0 win over Man City during the 2024/25 title-winning campaign. asserted
Szoboszlai → push → campaign
The good news for Liverpool is that Jacquet has shaken off a hamstring strain which forced him to miss France’s final Nations League game, meaning Iraola can keep faith in a back five that has kept three Premier League clean sheets in a row. asserted
that → shake → row
Federico Chiesa could make a matchday squad for the first time this season after a back issue but the Man City game comes too soon for Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni, though the latter is expected to resume full training imminently. uncertain
latter → make → training
