Conor Bradley Undergoes Successful Surgery for Knee Injury, Eyes Comeback

Conor Bradley, Liverpool’s right-back, has announced that he has successfully undergone surgery for a season-ending knee injury.

The 22-year-old player sustained the injury during Liverpool’s recent 0-0 draw against Arsenal and will now miss the remainder of the campaign. Bradley took to Instagram to share the news, posting a photo of himself being transported off the pitch on a stretcher.

“It’s a significant setback, but the surgery is complete, and my recovery journey begins now,” he wrote. “Although it may take some time, I am already looking forward to returning to play for both Liverpool and Northern Ireland. Thank you all for your support.”

Following the match, Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli reached out to Bradley, apologizing for his actions during the incident when he tried to push the injured player off the pitch.

As a result of the injury, Bradley will also miss the crucial World Cup 2026 play-off semi-final against Italy, scheduled for 26 March. The victor of that match will face either Wales or Bosnia and Herzegovina in the final.
