Liverpool coach Iraola provides fitness updates on Barcola, Kerkez and Gakpo

Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola confirmed that Bradley Barcola and Milos Kerkez suffered from cramp during Tuesday’s 2-1 Champions League victory against Atletico de Madrid at Anfield. Both players were substituted late in the match due to exhaustion, with Iraola noting that Barcola is still building physical condition following his preseason period. Meanwhile, the status of forward Cody Gakpo remains uncertain for Saturday’s Premier League match against Fulham. Gakpo missed the midweek fixture due to adductor niggles, and while the manager does not consider the issue major, he could not guarantee the player's availability for the quick turnaround. Liverpool is preparing to host Fulham this weekend as the team looks to recover and regroup after their European match.
