Liverpool face Tottenham in a game that could confirm the Reds’ status as Premier League champions, with Conor Bradley absent for the hosts.

The Northern Ireland international has endured an injury-hit season for Liverpool that has seen the youngster miss big patches of the campaign due to a variety of fitness issues, with Bradley now absent for today’s game against Tottenham.

With Trent Alexander-Arnold back for the Reds, though, Bradley’s absence won’t be felt as badly as it has been in recent matches, where both right-backs were out injured, resulting in Arne Slot having to get creative to solve this squad issue.

Yet it appears that Bradley’s latest fitness problem will not be too big an issue going into the final few weeks of the Premier League season.

According to Liverpool Echo journalist Ian Doyle, the 21-year-old defender is ‘expected’ to be back in Liverpool training next week, with the fullback missing today’s game against Tottenham only as a precaution.

Doyle wrote on Twitter about Bradley’s absence: “Conor Bradley missing for Liverpool today after picking up a knock in training.

Just a precaution, really, with the player expected to be back in training next week.”

With Liverpool ramping up their interest in Wesley Franca ahead of Alexander-Arnold’s potential move to Real Madrid, Bradley will want to end the season with the Reds on a high ahead of potentially becoming the first-choice right-back next season.

Yet missing out on minutes today will do little to help Bradley’s case, though winning the title today could lead to the Northern Ireland international becoming a regular for Liverpool in the final matches of the Premier League campaign.
