Bradley Barcola substituted with apparent leg injury on home debut for Liverpool
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) --- Bradley Barcola limped out of Liverpool's Champions
League game against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday with an apparent calf injury.
The $166 million summer signing pulled up shortly before the hour mark when
attempting a run toward goal. He went down on the turf holding his left calf.
After treatment from Liverpool's medical staff, Barcola was replaced by Victor
Munoz.
Barcola, who was Liverpool's key signing during the transfer window, was able
to leave the field on his feet and did not require a stretcher.
The two-time Champions League winner left back-to-back defending European
champion Paris Saint-Germain for Anfield and looked impressive on his first
start for Liverpool, with good chances in each half to score.
He was denied by Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak in the first half, but failed to
hit the target when running through on goal after the break.
