Fresh Concerns After Late Withdrawal

Bradley, who came on as a second-half substitute, was forced off in the 89th minute after pulling up during a sprint. The full-back’s discomfort was evident, and early signs suggest he could be facing a spell on the sidelines.

Manager’s Fears Confirmed

Speaking after the match, Arne Slot admitted the situation does not look promising. “It is difficult but he felt a bit when he made a sprint. He tried to continue but had to go out,” he revealed.

Slot’s concern was clear, adding: “All the time with injuries, I always say if a player wants to go out himself, that’s not a promising sign. It will probably lead to the fact he is probably 99.9 per cent not available for City and I don’t expect him against Newcastle as well.”

Timeline for Recovery Uncertain

Liverpool’s medical team will now assess Bradley, but with crucial fixtures against Manchester City and Newcastle United looming, the likelihood of his involvement remains slim. Slot conceded: “Then we have to see if it’s one or two weeks or if it’s going to be even longer.”

With the season reaching its climax, Liverpool will hope the right-back’s absence is not prolonged as they chase their remaining objectives.
