Liverpool could have an important player available for this weekend’s Premier League clash with Leeds United, according to an update from reliable journalist Paul Joyce. The Reds make the trip to Elland Road on Saturday evening, with Arne Slot badly in need of a win after the midweek draw at home to Sunderland, which put him under further pressure to keep his job at Anfield.

Taking on X on Friday, Joyce provided a positive update from Slot’s press conference, saying Bradley is expected to be fit for the Leeds game this weekend, having not featured for Liverpool since the 3-0 loss at Man City: “Arne Slot says Conor Bradley has trained this week and expects him to be available for Leeds United game.” Should Bradley go straight back into the team vs. Having Bradley back is great news for Liverpool and Slot, with Joe Gomez doing an admirable job there in recent weeks, but ultimately lacking the attacking ability to be overly effective.

Slot has a big decision to make with Bradley, having to decide if he is fit enough to go straight back into the team, but it feels more likely that Gomez will retain his place at Elland Road. Bradley could then make a cameo appearance, before potentially starting next Tuesday’s important trip to Inter Milan in the Champions League.
