Injury Update on Liverpool’s Conor Bradley…
Northern Ireland’s head honcho, Michael O’Neill, is so optimistic about Conor Bradley’s return to action that he’s already booking celebratory flights to Luxembourg and Germany! O’Neill expects Bradley to dust off his boots next month and join the national team’s adventures. The 22-year-old Liverpool defender, who has been sidelined thanks to a pesky summer knock, seems ready to slide back after a brief training session. While it’s unlikely he’ll start against Newcastle on Monday—unless he borrows Usain Bolt’s legs—a cameo appearance might be in the cards.
Liverpool has held its collective breath as they face an injury crunch heading into their Arsenal clash, with Bradley’s return more urgent after losing Jeremie Frimpong until September. O’Neill, keeping his fingers crossed like he’s playing a game of Twister, hopes to get Bradley some match action before the World Cup qualifiers. With Trent Alexander-Arnold no longer blocking the path, Bradley is like a horse at the starting gates, eager to gallop into the Premier League and Champions League races. After all, if Conor was any readier, they’d have to install a runway at Anfield!
