Slot 'fearing the worst' for Bradley but understands Martinelli push - Soccer News
""I fear the worst for Conor Bradley,""
""I think if a player of us is on the floor, people might know by now 100 out of 100 times there's something wrong with the player. You don't like to see a player being moved if he might have an injury.""
""I don't know Martinelli, but he comes across as a nice guy. I think the problem for him - and it's a problem in general in football - is that there is so much time-wasting and players pretending that they are injured in the final parts of the game and during the game, that you can sometimes be annoyed if you want to try to score a goal that you think the player is time-wasting. You cannot ask Martinelli to think so clearly in the 94th minute.""
Conor Bradley was stretchered off after landing awkwardly on his left knee while challenging Gabriel Martinelli, and Liverpool fear a serious injury. The 22-year-old has made 15 Premier League appearances this season after returning from hamstring and muscle problems earlier in the campaign and has previously suffered ankle and back issues. A scuffle followed when Martinelli tried to push Bradley off the pitch so play could continue. Arne Slot said he fears the worst for Bradley but defended Martinelli, saying time-wasting in late moments can frustrate attackers. Pundits Roy Keane and Gary Neville criticized Martinelli’s actions, with Neville saying an apology is needed.
