Liverpool XI vs Fulham: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup, injury latest for Premier League
However, Andoni Iraola allayed those fears by insisting the £123million summer signing from Paris Saint-Germain was suffering from cramp.
“With Bradley, it's about building his physical condition. We don't really know - or we didn't know until now, probably - how much he can play because he hasn't had any minutes in pre-season for PSG.
“He played 30 the other day [and] today we had some question marks, how many minutes he can give us and probably now we know.”
Iraola should provide a fresh update on Barcola ahead of the Fulham game, but the Spaniard’s options out wide are complicated with Cody Gakpo also a doubt.

Rio Ngumoha and Victor Munoz are on standby if Gakpo fails to recover, while Jeremie Frimpong is also an option at right-wing.
Milos Kerkez should be fine to keep his place at left-back despite also suffering from cramp late on in the Champions League tie, meaning Iraola can name an unchanged back four for the third game in a row.
Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai are set to continue in midfield, with changes expected in next week’s Carabao Cup third round meeting with Tottenham. Alexander Isak will look to add to his three Premier League goals as he leads the line again.
Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson; Araujo, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Ngumoha, Wirtz, Barcola; Isak.
