Liverpool not planning new right-back signing despite Conor Bradley’s injury | OneFootball

Liverpool right-back Conor Bradley has been ruled out for the rest of the season following a knee injury he sustained in the goalless Premier League draw with Arsenal.

The Northern Irishman becomes the third Liverpool player to suffer a serious injury after Alexander Isak and Giovanni Leoni.

Despite the setback, The Athletic claims that Liverpool do not intend to sign a new right-back.

Jeremie Frimpong, Joe Gomez, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Curtis Jones can deputise in the position.

Bradley had been viewed as a potential long-term option to succeed Trent Alexander-Arnold but has struggled for consistency this season, partly due to recurring fitness issues.

His absence gives Frimpong the chance to become Liverpool’s first-choice right-back.

While Frimpong has played as a right winger, he is unlikely to secure a regular starting berth playing in that position.

The Dutchman has had fitness issues but will now aim to stay fit for the rest of the season and become a mainstay in the team.

With a title defence appearing increasingly unlikely, Arne Slot’s side will be aiming to secure a top-four finish and make progress in the Champions League and FA Cup.
