Bradley Barcola's first home appearance for Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League ended prematurely on Wednesday, as the winger left the pitch with what appeared to be a calf injury during the club's group stage encounter against Atlético Madrid.

The French forward limped off the field, raising immediate concerns over his fitness ahead of Liverpool's upcoming fixtures in what is shaping up to be a demanding schedule for the club.

No official update on the severity of the injury had been provided at the time of the match, but the manner of his exit drew visible concern from the Liverpool bench.
