Liverpool is enjoying a highly successful season, having opened a 13-point lead over Arsenal after their 2-0 victory against Newcastle at Anfield. With the Premier League title in sight and the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle next month, the Reds have a rare week off before their Champions League quarter-final clash with Paris Saint-Germain. This break could be crucial for recovery.
Here’s the latest on Liverpool’s injured players:
Conor Bradley
Conor Bradley, who has been a reliable backup to Trent Alexander-Arnold, is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks due to a muscle injury. The 21-year-old was forced off in the 2-2 draw with Aston Villa earlier this month and missed the win over Newcastle. Liverpool’s manager, Arne Slot, confirmed that Bradley will be out for an extended period.
Joe Gomez
Liverpool’s defensive depth is slightly strained at the moment, particularly in central defense. Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate form a solid partnership, but backup options are limited. Joe Gomez, who had only recently returned from a hamstring injury, suffered a setback during Liverpool’s unexpected FA Cup loss to Plymouth. He re-injured his hamstring shortly after coming back.
Slot confirmed Gomez will be out for several weeks, and while his recovery timeline remains uncertain, he is expected to return in the latter stages of the season. There is a possibility he may need surgery, but this will be assessed later.
Expected Return Dates:
- Conor Bradley: A few weeks
- Joe Gomez: Unknown
