It was a busy night for the four Liverpool players involved, both on and off the pitch, so that's enough preamble, let's jump straight into our roundup. Bradley Barcola stars for France but Jérémy Jacquet suffers injury scare Jun 30, 2026; East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA; France forward Bradley Barcola (12) in action against Sweden during a Round of 32 match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup at New York New Jersey Stadium.

Despite starting France's last two matches, his first two senior international caps, Jérémy Jacquet's name was nowhere to be seen when Zinédine Zidane's team sheet dropped. He was cautioned when both Ukraine and Georgia visited Budapest, thereby suspended for Monday night's fixture, returning to Merseyside earlier than expected as a result.

The Liverpool goalkeeper made five saves in total, spectacularly denying Josh Magennis from close-range before, mere moments later, being called into action again, this time keeping out Isaac Price's penalty, saving low down to his right. Nevertheless, they've also only conceded twice, largely thanks to Mamardashvili, who will return to Merseyside full of confidence, despite not being first-choice for his club.
