Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has heaped praise on Conor Bradley for his impressive performances recently.
The Reds are on top of the Premier League table. They are having a fine campaign and everyone’s doing their bit for Jurgen Klopp – even the youngsters with little experience. Bradley is one of them.
Conor Bradley has been Liverpool’s saviour of sorts over the last few weeks.
The Reds lost Trent Alexander-Arnold to injury and since Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas were both unavailable as well, Joe Gomez had to play at left-back.
Jurgen Klopp turned to young Bradley to play at right full-back, and the 20-year-old has been absolutely superb for Liverpool in recent weeks.
Yes, he did make a slight error against Fulham, but apart from that, Bradley has shown he is a real talent and has a massive future ahead of him.
Speaking about the young full-back, an impressed Ibrahima Konate raved about him.
He told Liverpool’s official website: “I love Conor!
“He had a big injury and I know that was not easy for him, but he came back and he got some minutes and now he has had the opportunity with the injury of Trent to take some more.
“He did great, he did so well and I was happy for him. This is another player for our squad.”
Bradley is likely to be benched today
Football is a cruel game at times, isn’t it?
Conor Bradley has been excellent for Liverpool over the last few weeks and has done nothing to lose his place, but that is likely to happen today.
Liverpool take on Chelsea in a few hours, and Trent Alexander-Arnold is fit again. He is expected to start at right-back in place of Bradley.
That, however, has nothing to do with Bradley’s performances. He should keep his head held high, and we’re sure he’ll get plenty more opportunities in the coming months.
