Impact Barcola used his pace to cause a plethora of problems for Crystal Palace throughout Sunday's showdown. He broke down the backline with pace and skill and found Florian Wirtz for the second goal in the match. It was a nice run and a good example of what Barcola can bring to the team. He should be a key part in the starting XI moving forward as he continues to improve in Liverpool's system.

Impact Barcola took only a single shot during Sunday's loss. It was a frustrating day for the winger, despite all his pace and guile he just couldn't manage to break down the Arsenal backline. Throughout the match Barcola was struggling to really get in on the final third and was often marked out of the match.

Assists in win Barcola assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 win versus Brighton.

Impact Barcola was back in the goal contributions during Sunday's win. He set up the opening goal and was a threat down the wing with his pace any time he got on the ball. The winger got off to a slow start with Liverpool, but he's caught fire coming out of the international break and seems to be right back to his best in the Premier League.

Impact Barcola has been cleared of any fitness concerns after training separately from his teammates Thursday as part of a planned recovery program. The French winger returned to normal training Friday, confirming that his lighter workload was precautionary rather than injury-related. He featured as a substitute during Tuesday's 4-3 Champions League victory over Villarreal after registering an assist against Brentford and a hat-trick against LASK in his recent appearances. His availability gives Liverpool another attacking option against Brighton, with his recent performances strengthening his case for increased playing time.

Impact Barcola is not dealing with an injury despite training separately from his Liverpool teammates Thursday, with his individual session now confirmed to be part of a recovery program. The winger featured off the bench in Tuesday's 4-3 Champions League victory against Villarreal, making the lighter workload a precautionary measure rather than a fitness setback. The Frenchman has been building momentum in recent weeks after a relatively slow start to his Liverpool career, notably registering an assist during Saturday's 2-1 Premier League victory over Brentford and a hat-trick in the Champions League clash against LASK. His recent performances have strengthened his case for a more prominent attacking role, and he should be fully available for Sunday's encounter against Brighton without any fitness restrictions.

Impact Barcola's fitness will be worth monitoring after the winger trained separately from his Liverpool teammates Thursday, just two days after featuring off the bench in Tuesday's 4-3 Champions League victory against Villarreal. The reason for his individual session remains unclear, and there has been no indication that he is dealing with a significant injury. The Frenchman has been building momentum in recent weeks after a relatively slow start to his Liverpool career, notably registering an assist during Saturday's 2-1 Premier League victory over Brentford and a hat-trick in the UCL clash against LASK. His recent performances have strengthened his case for a more prominent attacking role, although his involvement against Brighton could depend on whether he returns to full team training before the weekend. Further clarification from the coaching staff should provide a better indication of his availability for Sunday's encounter.

Impact Barcola was back on the scoresheet during Saturday's clash, as he added an assist on his only chance created. He got off to a slow start to life on Merseyside, but he's picked it up in recent weeks. The winger looked great in the Champions League midweek and is now looking dangerous back in Premier League action.

Ends goal drought with hat trick Barcola scored a hat trick from five shots and created two chances in Wednesday's Champions League game against LASK.

Impact Barcola finally opened his Liverpool account in style at LASK with a first half brace before completing his hat trick after the break. The winger was a threat all evening with five shots and two chances created, and he was unlucky not to add an assist when Ryan Gravenberch hit the woodwork. He has started every Premier League and Champions League game since his full debut against Atletico Madrid but had struggled for form until now, so this could prove the lift he needed.

Dreadful in loss Barcola generated one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-0 loss against Manchester City.

Impact Barcola took a single shot and created a pair of chances during Sunday's loss. It's a disappointing outing for Liverpool's newest flashy signing, who has once against looked hapless. It's not been a good start to life in Liverpool for Barcola, who is still hoping to come good on a mammoth price tag.

Struggles in win Barcola generated one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 victory against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Barcola got the start and played 72 minutes Sunday, but he was largely disconnected from the team. It seems like he's still getting on the same page as the rest of the team, as he struggled to get involved consistently. He managed only a single shot that required a kick-out save to stop. Barcola is clearly talented, but hasn't hit the ground running on Merseyside.

Pour first start Barcola generated one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Fulham.

Impact Barcola failed to impress during his first Liverpool start. The winger created one chance and failed to put a shot on goal during a frustrating draw. It was a poor showing throughout for the new mega-money signing, who really didn't do enough on the ball. Barcola will hope to continue to gel in the first team as Liverpool head to Bournemouth next time out.

Impact Barcola went down holding his calf and was substituted in the recent Champions League win over Atletico Madrid after making his first Liverpool start, with manager Iraola acknowledging the club had been rushing him a little following his return to action. His expected availability now eases concern from that scare, though Victor Munoz, Rio Ngumoha and Jeremie Frimpong could still cover the wings if needed.

Impact Barcola should be available going forward after Andoni Iraola's post-match assessment removed the immediate concern raised by the winger clutching his calf before coming off. The wider issue is conditioning, as Iraola acknowledged the club is pushing him after he arrived from Paris Saint-Germain without pre-season minutes. Building him up gradually is the sensible path, so full 90-minute outings are unlikely in the short term even with Cody Gakpo (adductor) uncertain. His availability is not in question ahead of Saturday's Premier League fixture against Fulham, but the size of his role remains uncertain.

Withdrawn with injury Wednesday Barcola went off with an apparent calf injury during his first start for Liverpool in Wednesday's Champions League meeting with Atletico Madrid at Anfield.

Impact Barcola's setback came during his first start for Liverpool, just over a week after his move from Paris Saint-Germain and only his second appearance for the club after a substitute outing at Ipswich. Andoni Iraola had already indicated before the match that the winger had not accumulated many pre-season minutes and was unlikely to complete the 90, making the calf issue a concern given his limited match conditioning.

Impact Barcola did not play a single minute during Paris Saint-Germain's preseason after returning from the World Cup, making his 26-minute cameo against Liverpool his first action since the return. He is now expected to gradually rebuild his workload, with a start in one of the next two matches a possibility given the quick turnaround between league and Champions League fixtures. Victor Munoz could be the player to make way if Barcola enters the starting XI. The winger's ability to operate on either flank alongside Cody Gakpo gives the manager additional flexibility in the attacking setup.
