Liverpool’s Conor Bradley Out for Season After Significant Knee Injury

Scans found bone and ligament damage in his left knee, with surgery scheduled and no return date provided.

Overview

  • The right-back was injured in stoppage time of the 0-0 draw at Arsenal after landing awkwardly near the touchline and was taken off on a stretcher.
  • Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli was booked for shoving Bradley as he lay injured and later apologised, with no further FA action reported.
  • Multiple outlets report the injury will rule Bradley out for the remainder of the 2025/26 campaign and Northern Ireland’s March World Cup play-off against Italy.
  • Liverpool said he will undergo surgery in the coming days before beginning rehabilitation at the AXA Training Centre, with no timeline placed on his return.
  • Arne Slot faces a shortage at right-back, leaving Jeremie Frimpong and Joe Gomez as primary options along with occasional makeshift cover.
