Bradley's Injury Update: Ball Work Begins, Return Still Distant
14 Sep
Summary
- Conor Bradley has resumed individual ball work after a long knee injury layoff.
- A return to team training is still some distance away for the player.
- Liverpool is prioritizing long-term availability over rushing his comeback.
Conor Bradley is showing signs of recovery from a knee injury he sustained in early January. While he has commenced individual training sessions involving the ball, a return to full team training remains some time away, according to coach Andoni Iraola. Iraola indicated that Bradley is not close to rejoining the squad but is progressing through rehabilitation stages.
Liverpool is managing Bradley's return cautiously, mindful of his history of injuries and the demands of his playing style. The club expects him to be available by January, as he was included in the Champions League squad. However, previous optimistic return timelines around October or November now appear unlikely. The focus is on ensuring Bradley is fully prepared for long-term availability rather than a premature comeback.
