Van Dijk Struck by Mystery Bug, Bradley’s Knock…
In an epic twist of football fate worthy of a comic strip, Liverpool maestro Arne Slot spilled the beans! Our perpetually iron-clad Dutchman, Virgil van Dijk, has caught the not-so-flamboyant ‘mystery bug’ and will miss the friendly whirls against Athletic Club Bilbao. Meanwhile, Conor Bradley is nursing what appears to be a fierce tango with the legendary ‘Injury Monster.’ Liverpool fans, hold onto your boots — Van Dijk and Bradley are out for the count!
The Reds are lining up for a dazzling double header at Anfield under the cloudy British skies. As preparation for a thunderous 2025/26 Premier League season revs up, Slot will unleash his squad of football sorcery against the Spanish maestros. Kick-off at noon and a second battle at 3 p.m. ET promise bucketloads of on-field razzmatazz, though missing their iconic captain might be like playing piano without keys!
But fear not, loyal Redmen! Our dynamo Darwin Nunez and ace Alexis Mac Allister are prepped to dazzle and defend the Anfield fortress. Meanwhile, Van Dijk will embark on a heroic duel with his pesky phlegm and Bradley gets to play hopscotch to recovery.
