If not, Liverpool’s game against Brighton will be another one where the spotlight will be on him, but things will be even harder for him due to him missing a key player.Conor Bradley is suspended for Liverpool vs BrightonOne of Slot’s biggest issues so far this season has been working out who to start at right-back, with there being many options if everyone is fit.But for this one, he went for Conor Bradley upon his return from injury, with the Northern Irishman being ‘unbelievable‘ at points this season.Photo by Liverpool FC/Liverpool FC via Getty ImagesHe also had a decent game against Leeds, picking up an assist in the process, but he also got his fifth yellow card of the season, meaning he is suspended for their game against Brighton.This is a huge blow for Liverpool as Jeremie Frimpong will likely not be fit in time to play, so Joe Gomez or Dominik Szoboszlai will have to play there instead.Slot also decided to take Bradley off in the 68th minute as well, with Liverpool looking a lot worse when he was not on the pitch, conceding three goals in the process.Although this is not directly linked, his absence was still felt, showing just how much of a miss he will be against Brighton on Saturday.
