Conor Bradley suddenly found himself in the middle of the mix for Liverpool. What you need to know about your players.
Liverpool’s injuries have put Conor Bradley in the spotlight this season. Joe Gomez has been the Reds’ main back-up at right-back, but both senior left-backs are out with long-term injuries. As a result, Gomez continues to play on the left, which allows Bradley to remain upright.
And the currently injured Trent Alexander-Arnold played the full 90 minutes against Fulham in the teenager’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg. It all happened so fast. Bradley played in League One last season. People might wonder where it came from.

Bradley’s performance for Bolton was exactly what you’d expect. As usual, he played 53 matches and scored 7 goals.But that doesn’t explain half of it.
Bradley started for Bolton when they lifted the EFL trophy last year and played 90 minutes in the final, a 4-0 win. The teenager also helped them to the play-offs, where they lost 2-1 to Barnsley. But above all, Bradley’s success can best be summed up in Bolton’s trophies last season.
The on-loan defender from Liverpool was named Player of the Year and Fans’ Player of the Year and shared the Young Player of the Year award with James Trafford (now Burnley’s regular goalkeeper). So it’s no wonder Liverpool feel they have something to offer.
The 19-year-old lifted the trophy for Bolton last season and looks set to achieve more.
