Conor Bradley was a shock omission from the Liverpool squad on Sunday for the potentially title-deciding clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

The defender returned to the team earlier this month after an injury layoff of nearly two months and started the recent wins over West Ham United and Leicester City.

He was again expected to feature against Spurs, despite Trent Alexander-Arnold’s return from injury last week.

The injury is the latest setback for Bradley and the fourth different injury issue this season.

It also comes just two days after head coach Arne Slot said the defender was getting closer to playing 90 minutes once again.

“It depends on the upcoming two sessions,” Slot said ahead of the game.

“He [Bradley] was getting closer and closer to 90 minutes.

The first and second [starts since recovering] were around the same amount of minutes.

“It’s normal if you have played twice around 70 minutes, then the chance of you being able to play 90 is getting closer and closer.
