Injury crisis: Liverpool reveals how long Conor Bradley will be sidelined

Liverpool could be without Conor Bradley until the New Year after the defender suffered a hamstring injury during Wednesday’s Champions League match against Real Madrid. Bradley was substituted in the second half, with Joe Gomez taking his place in the closing minutes of the 2-0 victory.

Details. According to the Belfast Telegraph, Bradley may miss up to six weeks, ruling him out of Liverpool’s demanding December schedule. The young defender has become a key part of Arne Slot’s squad following Trent Alexander-Arnold’s injury.

Liverpool’s packed schedule includes an EFL Cup match against Southampton at St Mary’s before returning to Premier League action against Tottenham. On Boxing Day, Leicester City will visit Anfield, with the Reds wrapping up the year with an away game against West Ham on December 29.

This injury adds to Liverpool’s woes, as it was recently confirmed that Ibrahima Konaté will also be sidelined until the New Year after sustaining a knee injury in added time during the same match against Madrid.
