BREAKING: Liverpool hand Bradley Barcola major opportunity after blockbuster arrival
Liverpool’s huge summer signing Bradley Barcola is set to be available for his first appearance for the club when they travel to face Ipswich Town.
The French attacker completed his move to Anfield during the summer window and has wasted little time getting involved with his new teammates. Manager Andoni Iraola has now confirmed that Barcola is available for selection, potentially giving Liverpool supporters their first competitive glimpse of their expensive new arrival.
The timing could hardly be more interesting for Liverpool. The Reds are still searching for their first league victory of the campaign, making the Ipswich fixture an important opportunity to change the mood around the team.
Barcola’s arrival gives Iraola another attacking option as Liverpool look to improve their creativity and attacking threat. His pace, direct running and ability to operate from wide positions could provide a different dimension to the team’s attack.
Liverpool also head into the game with several injury concerns, but Barcola’s availability provides a welcome boost.
For supporters, the biggest question is now whether Iraola will introduce the new signing from the beginning or gradually bring him into the action.
Either way, Barcola’s Liverpool debut is one of the most anticipated moments of the weekend.
