Conor Bradley could be back soonSpeaking in a YouTube video last week, Liverpool-based journalist David Lynch had this to say about Bradley: "Conor Bradley, as I’m told, is targeting a return shortly after the start of the season, so he’s not a million miles away, which might be a nice surprise... they’re not relying on him. As Lynch states, the 23 year old is not expected to be back in time to feature during the Reds' pre-season fixtures, either in America or at Anfield, but is back in training, which is certainly a start.During his spell on the sidelines, Bradley missed Northern Ireland's World Cup play-off, beaten 2-0 by Italy in Bergamo in March.

Conor Bradley's return would be a major boost for Andoni Iraola In all its glory: THAT Conor Bradley tackle 😮‍💨#UCL pic.twitter.com/XmYSYZ9nhA— UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) November 29, 2024In a campaign of numerous crises, right-back was certainly one that Arne Slot never solved. Following Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure, replacement Jeremie Frimpong was quickly not trusted in that position, with Bradley thereby viewed as the heir to his throne.

Well, after his injury, even before then to be honest, Curtis Jones, Szoboszlai and others were asked to fill in at right-back, which is far from ideal, especially in Szoboszlai's case, with the club's best midfielder having to be sacrificed. Bradley's banner performances in a red shirt have, coincidentally, both come against Real Madrid at Anfield.
