Bradley had already received yellow cards in Liverpool's opening two Champions League fixtures against Atletico Madrid and Galatasaray. Should he have been cautioned once more against Eintracht Frankfurt, the full-back would have faced a one-match suspension under UEFA regulations, ruling him out of the Reds' upcoming Champions League encounter at home to Real Madrid.

Now, unfortunately, he's had to go off." A summer acquisition from Bayer Leverkusen, Frimpong has already been absent for two fixtures this campaign due to a prior hamstring problem. With Bradley unavailable for Liverpool's opening two encounters of the season owing to his own hamstring complaint sustained during preseason, Slot has been compelled to deploy Dominik Szoboszlai as an emergency right-back on multiple occasions throughout the campaign thus far.

With Bradley being the only natural right-back option available for the Reds, Slot will be relieved that he won't be left without him due to suspension in the upcoming match against Madrid. In addition, while Bradley is just one European yellow card away from a suspension, Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch are the only other players in Slot's team who have received bookings in the Champions League this season.
