Conor Bradley Undergoes Successful Surgery for Season-Ending Injury
Liverpool right-back Conor Bradley has announced that he successfully underwent surgery to address a knee injury that will sideline him for the remainder of the season.
The 22-year-old player sustained the injury during Liverpool's recent 0-0 draw against Arsenal. He shared the news of his surgery on Instagram, accompanied by a photo of himself being carried off the pitch on a stretcher.
In his post, Bradley remarked, "It’s a big blow, but the surgery is done, so the comeback starts now." He added, "It won’t be for a little while, but I already can’t wait to get back playing for Liverpool and Northern Ireland. Thank you for all the support."
Following the match, Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli expressed his apologies to Bradley for attempting to push him off the pitch after he fell injured.
As a result of his injury, Bradley will miss Northern Ireland's World Cup 2026 play-off semi-final against Italy on March 26. The winner of that match will face either Wales or Bosnia and Herzegovina in the play-off final.
