Conor Bradley‘s latest injury setback is a concern for Liverpool, with Arne Slot unsure how long the right-back will be out for. The Conor Bradley injury: A quick look • Half-time withdrawal: The right-back lasted only 45 minutes against Spurs, picking up a knock just before the interval that forced his substitution. • Slot’s verdict: Arne Slot has confirmed the club “have to wait” for a full assessment, refusing to use a growing injury list as an excuse for the team’s performance. • Availability issues: Concerns are mounting over Bradley’s fitness record; the 22-year-old has managed just nine Premier League starts from a possible 17 this season. • Recurring setbacks: This latest blow follows a pattern of six injuries over the last two-and-a-half seasons, preventing him from finding any sustained rhythm.

“This is quite normal, that teams have injuries in this period of time.” Are Bradley’s injuries becoming a cause for concern? Bradley’s injury-prone nature has again come to the fore this season, with the 22-year-old only managing nine starts out of a possible 17 in the Premier League.

Per Transfermarkt, Bradley has already picked up six injuries in the previous two-and-a-half seasons prior to this latest setback, not allowing him any kind of rhythm. Bradley isn’t offering that enough at the moment, and he needs to become more reliable in that area if he wants to be the Reds’ long-term solution at right-back.
