Liverpool have announced that their young full-back Conor Bradley will miss the rest of the season as he requires surgery on the injury he suffered against Arsenal
Liverpool defender Conor Bradley has been ruled out for the rest of the season after picking up a serious knee injury against Arsenal.
Bradley, 22, was stretchered off in North London on Thursday during the closing stages of the 0-0 draw with the Gunners. The Northern Ireland international went down holding his left leg after attempting to clear a loose ball during an innocuous incident at the Emirates Stadium. He appeared to roll his ankle before twisting his knee but it has now been confirmed that he has sustained a significant injury.
The Liverpool full back will undergo surgery in the coming days. Although scans showed no rupture in his anterior cruciate ligament, there was damage to his bone and ligaments.
In a statement, the club wrote: ” Liverpool FC can confirm Conor Bradley has sustained a significant knee injury.
“The right-back suffered the issue in the latter stages of Thursday night’s Premier League fixture away at Arsenal. Bradley will undergo surgery in the coming days and then begin a period of rehabilitation at the AXA Training Centre.
“No timeframe is being placed on his return to playing at this stage of the process.”
