You'd love to see Trent back, of course you would."Should Alexander-Arnold not return, Johnson believes Bradley can claim the position permanently, provided he can overcome his fitness issues.He continued: "In terms of the future of Liverpool, I think as long as he comes back fit, Conor Bradley for me, as long as he can recover from that injury."Obviously, it's a nasty one.
