Arne Slot has challenged Conor Bradley to build on his “outstanding” performance against Aston Villa by recovering quickly for Tuesday against Real Madrid. After delivering arguably his best performance of the season at Anfield on Saturday night, the 22-year-old is now being challenged by Slot to maintain that level when Liverpool face Real Madrid at Anfield in less than 72 hours.

“The more players play together, the better it will be,” said Slot in his post-match press conference when asked about Bradley’s growing connection with Mohamed Salah. “The challenge for him now will be to make himself ready, because he’s not been used to 90 minutes a lot this season and after two days of rest the next one is coming up.

But yes, he played well today.” Bradley’s chance to cement himself as first choice It has been a challenging start to the season for Bradley, with Slot regularly rotating the Northern Ireland international alongside Jeremie Frimpong and Dominik Szoboszlai at right-back. After his lively display on Saturday, the 22-year-old looks set to retain his place for Tuesday’s mouthwatering Champions League clash at Anfield.
