Andoni Iraola has hinted that he may look to Bradley Barcola to act as an auxiliary striker in the absence of Alexander Isak. The Sweden international was missing from the club’s training sessions in the lead-up to the Reds’ impending clash with Manchester City on Sunday.

The former Bournemouth boss confirmed that both the 27-year-old and in-form star Cody Gakpo will be out of action for the tie in question.
