"Liverpool defender Conor Bradley is set to miss the rest of the season after suffering a serious knee injury in Thursday's 0-0 draw with Arsenal. Bradley went down off the ball in stoppage time at Emirates Stadium and was stretchered off the pitch, with head coach Arne Slot later admitting the club "feared the worst" for the right-back. Scans have since revealed Bradley has not suffered an ACL injury but has sustained significant damage to the bone and ligaments in his left knee."
"It is a huge blow for Slot's side, who have already lost teenage centre-back Giovanni Leoni to an ACL injury this season. Bradley's injury prompted a scuffle on the pitch in north London, with Arsenal substitute Gabriel Martinelli throwing the ball at the 22-year-old and then attempting to shove him off the pitch as his side searched for a late winner. The Brazil international later apologised both publicly and privately for his behaviour."
Conor Bradley suffered a serious left-knee injury in stoppage time of the 0-0 draw with Arsenal and will miss the remainder of the season. He went down off the ball at Emirates Stadium and was stretchered off after an initial fear of an anterior cruciate ligament tear. Scans showed no ACL rupture but revealed significant damage to bone and ligaments in the knee. The injury compounds Liverpool's defensive injuries after Giovanni Leoni suffered an ACL tear earlier in the season. The incident sparked a pitch scuffle when Arsenal substitute Gabriel Martinelli threw the ball at Bradley and shoved him, later apologising.
