Arne Slot has provided a Conor Bradley injury update as Liverpool prepares to host Newcastle United at Anfield in a potentially title-defining clash.
With the Reds holding an 11-point lead over second-placed Arsenal and Newcastle battling for European qualification, this fixture carries weighty implications.
The match also serves as a precursor to their Carabao Cup final meeting on March 16.
Against City, he deployed a 4-2-2-2 system lacking a recognized striker—a decision influenced by Cody Gakpo’s limited training time and Diogo Jota’s incomplete recovery.
For Wednesday’s clash, Slot is expected to revert to his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation.
However, his involvement was cut short when he limped off late on after experiencing discomfort during a sprint.
Now Arne Slot has provided an update.
What did Arne Slot say about Conor Bradley?
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Arne Slot said on the Northern Ireland international:
“Conor doesn’t train with us, he’s out for a few weeks?
I cannot exactly tell you how many but it’s clear he went off with a muscle injury – so it’s going to take a while until he’s back.”
The Dutchman also gave a brief update on Alexis Mac Allister, easing any concerns around a blackeye keeping him out of the clash vs Newcastle:
“I think he will be alright, he will train with us today,” Slot said on the Argentine midfielder.
