Liverpool's Conor Bradley put in a stellar performance to keep Northern Ireland's World Cup qualification hopes alive, but will miss the crucial match against Germany on Monday. Bradley was instrumental in Northern Ireland's 2-0 victory over Slovakia on Friday night, earning man-of-the-match honours and contributing to the first goal.

Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill commented on the incident: "I have watched it back and he tries to pull out. It was good for him to captain the team on a night like this." Northern Ireland currently sit second in their four-team group, separated by goal difference from Germany and third-placed Slovakia.

Bradley's suspension means he'll miss the chance to face off against Liverpool colleague Florian Wirtz, who featured prominently in Germany's 4-0 triumph over Luxembourg. Despite his efforts, Sweden fell to a 2-0 home defeat against Switzerland, leaving them at the bottom of their group with three games left.
