Arne Slot has delivered a new injury setback to Liverpool ahead of their Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest this weekend, with Conor Bradley out for a sustained period. While Alisson has every chance of returning for Liverpool after a lengthy absence, the injury problems aren’t going away, with Slot confirming that Bradley is out for several weeks and Florian Wirtz is also unavailable this weekend.

“Florian Wirtz suffered a muscle injury and won’t be available this weekend. Conor Bradley also suffered a muscle injury.

I expect Bradley to be out for the next three weeks; for Florian, it should be shorter.” Bradley must rid himself of injury problems Bradley is such an exciting and talented young right-back for Liverpool, with Pep Guardiola saying he can “do everything” and Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill also heaping praise on him: “I think the one thing about any young player who comes up and obviously plays for a club like Liverpool is that they don’t change. That’s the biggest compliment I could give Conor since I’ve known him from when he played in our Under-16s, watched his progress, watched him play on loan at Bolton and what he has to do now to play at a club like Liverpool.” Unfortunately, Bradley is finding it hard to stay fit for long periods, however, which is stunting his growth as a player, not allowing him to improve at the speed Liverpool will be hoping.
