"Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg has confirmed the club is now in an urgent search for cover, but moved quickly to debunk one major rumour. Despite widespread reports in Germany linking Borussia Dortmund's Julian Ryerson to Anfield, Plettenberg stated on X: Understand Liverpool are urgently searching for a replacement for Conor Bradley, who will be out for several months with a knee injury. Various options are being assessed for the current transfer window. Been told that Julian Ryerson is currently not a candidate for Liverpool."
"The injury comes at a critical juncture for Arne Slot. With Liverpool currently fighting to bridge a gap to the league leaders, losing Bradley is a massive blow. Liverpool are now left with Frimpong as the only senior specialist. While Joe Gomez can cover, his lack of offensive output disrupts Slot's system. Plettenberg's update suggests the club is working around the clock to find a solution that balances immediate impact with long-term value, rather than panic-buying a stopgap like Ryerson."
Conor Bradley suffered a significant knee injury during the 0-0 draw with Arsenal and will be out for several months, ruling him out for the season. Liverpool are urgently searching for a right-back replacement and are assessing various options during the January transfer window. Reports linking Borussia Dortmund's Julian Ryerson have been dismissed, with Ryerson not currently a candidate. The injury leaves Frimpong as the only senior specialist at right-back, with Joe Gomez able to cover but offering limited attacking output that disrupts Arne Slot's system. Recruitment focus is on immediate impact and long-term value rather than short-term stopgaps.
