Arne Slot provides a fresh update on the Liverpool star’s injury. Reds manager Slot gave an update on Conor Bradley’s injury picked up against Aston Villa in a Premier League encounter.
Conor Bradley was introduced in the second half as a substitute against Villa but had to go off towards the end of the match as he picked up an injury, which Arne Slot gave news on after the match.
The Reds’ injury list seems to be growing as Bradley looks to have joined Cody Gakpo, Joe Gomez, and Tyler Morton after he had to be brought off for Jarell Quansah very late in the game.

Slot gives update on injury to star player
Speaking after the match on Bradley’s problem, Slot told reporters, “It is difficult, but he felt a bit when he made a sprint, he tried to continue but had to go out.”
He also said, “As always with injuries, I always say if a player wants to go out himself, that’s not a promising sign,” as per thisisanfield.
The manager added that Bradley is most likely not going to be available against Manchester City on Sunday and that he does not expect him back against Newcastle too.
“We have to see if it is one or two weeks, or if it is going to be even longer,” he said.
The Nothern Ireland international has already been absent for eleven matches this season because of injury, he missed eight matches following a hamstring strain he sustained against Real Madrid in the UCL in November.
The 21-year-old has been rotated with Trent Alexander-Arnold this season, who just returned from a thigh injury, but Liverpool will be forced to do without Bradley for at least their next two huge fixtures.
The Reds will travel to the Etihad to take on Manchester City on Sunday before they welcome Newcastle United to Anfield on Wednesday before a weekend without a game, as a shock FA Cup defeat to Plymouth Argyle means they do not partake in the next round.
