Bradley Barcola Injury Report: Calf Strain
Barcola was subbed off with an apparent left calf injury.
After an explosive acceleration, he immediately slowed as if he suddenly felt something. A few seconds later he sat down and started rubbing his left calf indicating where he felt pain.
Most likely a left calf muscle strain, probably grade two, keeping him out for a few weeks with a possible return after the international break.
It could be sudden onset cramp, which would be positive. I doubt it, but you never know.
