After the Liverpool contingent successfully navigated the first round of fixtures, Jürgen Klopp might have started feeling the tiniest bit thankful for the gap in the domestic schedule, breaking up an intense run of games and giving those with existing injuries time to recover without missing more matches.

But in an instant, we were reminded of why international breaks are The Worst.

Northern Ireland’s Trai Hume put in a heavy challenge, and the full-back was unable to continue despite attempting to do so.

Scotland manager Steve Clarke expressed hope that the setback is not too serious.

Bradley had temporarily charged over to the left to put pressure on Nathan Patterson, winning the ball back in a passage of play that would surely have made Klopp proud.

He then cut in and unleashed a lovely strike, admittedly benefitting from a deflection as it flew into the top corner.

But regardless of whether or not he can solve the Robertson issue, Bradley is certainly a ray of positivity for Liverpool.

It would be wrong to say he came from nowhere — he enjoyed a very strong loan at Bolton in League One last season — but few could have anticipated the manner in which he has made the step up.

Even with Trent Alexander-Arnold due to return shortly after the international break, it would be a surprise if Bradley did not play a significant role in the rest of the Premier League run-in.

He might find himself starting a little less often, but Klopp will certainly turn to him within games as a slightly different, more direct option.

Beyond the season, and therefore beyond the Klopp era, the next manager will be inheriting an excellent player.
