Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed that Conor Bradley will likely miss Sunday’s Premier League showdown with Manchester City due to a suspected hamstring injury.
Bradley’s Injury Woe
The Northern Ireland international suffered the injury during Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on Wednesday, and Slot admitted that Bradley’s chances of facing Manchester City are “99.9%” gone.
Slot’s Assessment
“It’s difficult, but he felt a bit of pain when he made a sprint,” Slot said. “He tried to continue, but had to go out.
When a player wants to go out himself, that’s not a promising sign.”
Injury Crisis Deepens
Bradley’s injury adds to Liverpool’s growing list of absentees, with Cody Gakpo, Joe Gomez, and Tyler Morton also doubtful for the Manchester City clash.
Bradley’s Importance
The 21-year-old’s absence will be felt, as he has proven to be a valuable asset for Liverpool this season.
His explosive nature and driving runs have been particularly effective, and he has endeared himself to the fans with his performances.

Alexander-Arnold’s Role
With Bradley out, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s role becomes even more crucial.
However, the Englishman’s minutes are still being managed after a hamstring problem, and it remains to be seen if he can last the full 90 minutes against Manchester City.
