Liverpool Confirm Knee Surgery for Conor Bradley After Arsenal Draw

Liverpool faces a right-back shortage that could prompt action in the market.

Overview

  • Liverpool said Bradley suffered a significant knee injury and will undergo an operation in the coming days, with no return timetable provided.
  • The Times reports the damage is not an ACL tear but involves major ligament and bone issues that could rule the 22-year-old out for the season.
  • Bradley collapsed late in the 0-0 at Arsenal while attempting to clear the ball and was taken off on a stretcher.
  • Gabriel Martinelli tried to push the injured defender off the pitch before later apologising, drawing on-air condemnation from Gary Neville.
  • The injury further depletes Liverpool's defence, leaving only Jeremie Frimpong as a natural senior right-back, and local reports suggest the club is considering options such as Borussia Dortmund's Julian Ryerson, which remains unconfirmed.
