Liverpool new signing Bradley Barcola has been named among the substitutes as the Reds take on Ipswich Town in their Premier League fixture at Portman Road.
The France international, who joined Liverpool from Paris Saint-Germain in a major summer transfer move, was expected to make his debut after completing his transfer earlier in the week. However, manager Andoni Iraola has opted to introduce him gradually following his limited match preparation.
Barcola had trained with his new teammates ahead of the match, but he had not featured in pre-season games, a factor considered by the Liverpool coaching staff before deciding on his involvement.
Liverpool made one change to their starting lineup, with Ronald Araujo coming into the team in place of Jeremie Frimpong.
The Reds are searching for their first Premier League victory of the season after opening their campaign with consecutive draws, while Ipswich enter the match looking to build on their early-season form.
Barcola’s arrival has increased competition in Liverpool’s attacking options, with the club hoping the winger’s pace and creativity will strengthen their forward line during the season.
