Liverpool’s night was all but perfect against Real Madrid on Wednesday night except for a major blow to Conor Bradley.

Once and for all, proving he can be an astute back-up solution in the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold.However, right towards the end of the game, he went down with what seemed like a hamstring issue and Liverpool were forced to take him off the pitch.As Conor Bradley was forced off the pitch against the Spanish giants, there was another worrying injury update for Liverpool right at the end of the game.
Ibrahima Konate left the pitch limping after the final whistle and was surrounded by several members of the Liverpool medical staff.

Speaking after the game to reporters in his post-match press conference Slot revealed he doesn’t know the full extent of Konate’s nor Bradley’s injury.
“It’s difficult to judge so soon after the game. I’m really hoping that both will be available to play,” he said.The comment is certainly optimistic, but Liverpool will now face an anxious wait hoping both are cleared fit for arguably one of the biggest games of the season on Sunday.
