Conor Bradley to Miss Remainder of Season Due to Knee Injury

Liverpool defender Conor Bradley is poised to miss the rest of the season after suffering a severe knee injury during Thursday’s goalless draw with Arsenal.

Bradley fell off the ball in stoppage time at the Emirates Stadium and required a stretcher to leave the pitch. Head coach Arne Slot later expressed concerns, stating that the club “feared the worst” for the right-back.

Subsequent scans have shown that while Bradley has avoided an ACL injury, he has incurred substantial damage to the bone and ligaments in his left knee.

This injury represents a significant setback for Slot’s team, which has already seen teenage center-back Giovanni Leoni sidelined for the season due to an ACL injury.

The incident on the pitch not only highlighted Bradley’s injury but also led to a confrontation, with Arsenal substitute Gabriel Martinelli throwing the ball at Bradley and attempting to push him off the field as Arsenal sought a late winner. The Brazilian later issued apologies both publicly and privately for his actions.
