BIZARRE Arne Slot decision heaps incredible pressure on Liverpool star | OneFootball

Conor Bradley under pressure

Was Gomez playing against Inter responsible for him getting injured against Brighton? Maybe, maybe not. All we can say for sure is that Slot took a risk with a player who doesn't have a good injury record.

Because there was little to no need to play Gomez against Inter. Conor Bradley was available and, importantly, suspended for the following game against Brighton.

It forced Gomez to play the matches back-to-back and again, it's not clear why that decision was made. He was always going to struggle to do that, having missed a lot of this season with fitness issues.

And so now Bradley is really the only right-back. Certainly the only natural one and even make-shift-option Dominik Szoboszlai is now injured.
