Bradley BOOST

CONOR'S TIMELY RETURN AS GOMEZ FIGHTS TO BE FIT FOR LEEDS

- By THEO SQUIRES ECHO Reporter

LIVERPOOL are set to be handed an injury boost when they travel to Leeds United tonight after Arne Slot confirmed that he expects Conor Bradley to be fit.

However, the Dutchman also revealed that Joe Gomez has been carrying a knock after being replaced midway through the second half in the Reds’ 1-1 draw with Sunderland.

Bradley has been absent through injury since the November international break and missed Liverpool's last four matches as a result.

With Jeremie Frimpong also sidelined because of a hamstring injury suffered back in October, it has left the Reds short of natural options at right-back.

Both Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones have been tasked with filling in in recent weeks, prior to Gomez returning to the starting XI for last weekend's 2-0 win over West Ham United.

But Slot confirmed his options are about to be bolstered by Bradley's return despite having to replace Gomez shortly after the hour-mark in midweek.
