Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Conor Bradley is set to be unavailable for the rest of Liverpool’s fixtures this month.

The right-back suffered an ankle injury in last Sunday’s 1-0 loss against Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Bradley, 20, deputised magnificently while Trent Alexander-Arnold had a knee issue. In a breakthrough campaign, the Northern Ireland international has recorded one goal and six assists in 22 games.

But Bradley is set for a spell on the treatment table. Speaking ahead of Liverpool’s Europa League quarter-final second leg against Atalanta, with the Reds trailing 3-0 on aggregate, manager Klopp said: “I think Ryan Gravenberch had a similar thing, so first week of May he [Bradley] should be back in training. When is that? Two weeks' time.

"[He] overstretched the ligaments, not serious serious but serious enough that he's not here."
