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.
