"Liverpool right-back Conor Bradley has confirmed he has undergone successful knee surgery following his season-ending injury against Arsenal last Thursday. Bradley was stretchered off in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time after awkwardly clearing a ball near the touchline, with the incident sparking a flashpoint. Gabriel Martinelli attempted to push the Northern Ireland international off the pitch before he received treatment, as well as bouncing the ball off the stricken defender."
""A big blow, but surgery is done, so the comeback starts now," Bradley said. "It won't be for a little while, but I already can't wait to get back playing for Liverpool and Northern Ireland. Thank you for all of the support.""
Conor Bradley underwent successful knee surgery after sustaining a season-ending injury during Liverpool's match against Arsenal. The 22-year-old was stretchered off late in the match following an awkward clearance near the touchline; Gabriel Martinelli momentarily pushed him and bounced the ball off him before apologising. Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed understanding of Martinelli's frustrations. Surgery will keep Bradley out until the 2026–27 season, ruling him out of Northern Ireland's World Cup 2026 play-off semi-final against Italy on March 26. Bradley made 21 appearances across all competitions this season and Liverpool sit fourth in the Premier League ahead of a home match with Burnley.
