Conor Bradley has been a standout performer for Liverpool when called upon this season.

The young defender played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s recent 2-0 Champions League win against Real Madrid.

A well placed shot from Alexis Mac Allister and precise header from Cody Gakpo were enough to help the Reds secure all three points at Anfield.

Fans will not forget Bradley’s crunching tackle on Kylian Mbappe, which became an instant hit on social media.

The moment captured the Kop’s admiration, with the crowd erupting after the perfectly timed tackle.

Bradley’s energy and determination on the pitch have made him a fan favorite, both for Liverpool and Northern Ireland.

Against Real Madrid, Bradley was instrumental in shutting down their attack.

Liverpool’s defense held strong, and his contribution was vital in securing the clean sheet.

Late in the match, however, there were injuries to some of the Reds.

Ibrahima Konate, as we exclusively revealed, would be out for around five to six weeks because of the result of a collision with Real Madrid man Endrick.

Bradley, on the other hand, was forced off after appearing to tweak his hamstring.

Fans hoped it was just a precautionary substitution, but it seems the issue is more serious than initially thought.

Conor Bradley ruled out until new year in major injury blow

Northern Ireland media, Belfast Telegraph, report that Bradley will be sidelined for up to six weeks due to a hamstring injury.

This setback means he will be out until the New Year.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot now faces a selection headache.

With Trent Alexander-Arnold only just returning to fitness, Slot may have to rush his return.

Bradley’s absence will be keenly felt in key games.

He will miss Premier League clashes against Manchester City, Everton, and Manchester United, among others.

He is also set to sit out a crucial Champions League match against Girona and the Carabao Cup quarter-final versus Southampton.

Despite the setback, Bradley can focus on recovery and supporting Northern Ireland’s World Cup qualifying hopes from the sidelines during December’s draw.
