Barcola Limps Off With Apparent Calf Injury

Liverpool winger Bradley Barcola left his first start for the club during Wednesday’s Champions League match against Atlético Madrid with an apparent calf injury. The £123 million summer signing pulled up while running toward goal shortly before the hour mark and was replaced by Víctor Muñoz after receiving treatment. Barcola, who had created several scoring chances before his departure, was able to walk off the field without assistance and did not require a stretcher. Liverpool had no immediate confirmation of the injury’s severity.
