Barcola & Munoz: Liverpool injury news ahead of Brighton Premier League clash

The Reds are dealing with many player injuries at the moment.

Bradley Barcola missed training, but Andoni Iraola said that the winger will be fit for Liverpool’s game with Brighton this weekend.

The Reds training was skipped by Barcola and Victor Munoz on Thursday, but the France international has been given the green light to face the Seagulls.

Munoz is a significant worry nevertheless and might miss out, alongside Dominik Szoboszlai, who has not yet joined up with the group.

“He [Barcola] is fine, no problem, a matter of dealing with the load, stay inside, but he’s fine,” Iraola noted.

“Victor, he has a knock, he could finish the game against Brentford, but he’s dealing with some pain, since then, it’s too early against Villarreal, I think it’ll be difficult, but I don’t know.“

“Dom is going to be out this weekend, I don’t think he’s far, but he hasn’t trained with the group, the way we start the team, he had to go out.“

“It’ll probably take one or two more days than we would. It’s a good place, he plays outside alone, but not with the group.”

Rio Ngumoha was the star for the Reds as they came back from behind to beat Villarreal in the Champions League, providing two assists, with Iraola saying there were moments when his team lacked intensity at Anfield.

“It’s about feeling how they are,” Iraola said when asked about Ngumoha’s usage. “We’re changing a lot the team, we’re playing every three or four days, sometimes the players are tired, more risk involved, we’re deciding to have more rest or fresher legs, we’ll decide, it’ll be the same against Brighton, we have to continue, change a little bit the team.“
