Conor Bradley lets slip what he's seen from Florian Wirtz behind the scenes | OneFootball

Bradley set for Wirtz showdown

The defender made his comeback from his latest injury blow against Newcastle on matchday two of the Premier League season.

Although he didn’t play in the win against Arsenal - Bradley was back in the thick of the action on Thursday night as Northern Ireland beat Luxembourg.

Next up for the right-sided player is Germany on Sunday - meaning a showdown with new Liverpool teammate Florian Wirtz.

Bradley: Wirtz is UNBELIEVABLE

The 22-year-old playmaker has been accused of making a slow start at Anfield - yet to deliver a goal or assist - but in time will prove worthy of his £116m price tag.

And Bradley ahead of the encounter has revealed that he’s been blown away from what he’s seen from the 2023/24 Bayer Leverkusen league and cup double winner.

"It's going to be another difficult game but looking forward to it,” he told the BBC.

“We had a few jokes before we went away, not Whatsapps yet but I'll have to get into him tomorrow and tell him to take it easy on us.

"He's an unbelievable player. I've seen that from the few weeks we've had together in pre-season, and we'll have to keep him quiet Sunday night."
