Liverpool defender Conor Bradley misses remainder of year following knee surgery

Liverpool right-back Conor Bradley remains sidelined as he recovers from significant bone and ligament damage in his knee. The injury occurred during a January match at Arsenal, requiring surgical intervention. While Bradley participated in individual rehabilitation at the AXA Training Centre and joined the team's preseason tour in the United States, manager Andoni Iraola indicated he is not yet ready for full team training. Northern Ireland head coach Michael O'Neill confirmed Bradley will be unavailable for international fixtures for the remainder of the year. O'Neill stated the team will manage his recovery carefully, with a potential return to international action targeted for March. If Bradley returns to training before December, it would be considered a significant milestone in his recovery.
