Arne Slot, Manager of Liverpool, has confirmed that Conor Bradley will start against West Ham United in Anfield on Sunday.
The Northern Irishman took up a muscle injury to Aston Villa in mid -February and missed seven games in all competitions. Usually the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold, the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold, was more of a problem than Alexander-Arnold then failed with his own ankle injury.
Fortunately, Liverpool had already achieved a considerable advantage in the title race of the Premier League before traveling to Fulham last Sunday and making their surprise 3-2 in Craven Cottage a little more tastier.
In this game, Central middle field player Curtis Jones was moved to the right-back as an experiment, but Bradley’s arrival as a replacement in the second half offered the red a much greater equilibrium-even five minutes after getting in, support for Luis Diaz’s goal.
Now, with West Ham, the visitors of Merseyside, it looks as if Liverpool Bradley had back into fold from the start after a full training week.
“Yes, it does,” said Slot to report, asked if Bradley was able to be admitted. “Of course it’s a boost, it is always a boost when high -quality players come back. Particularly high -quality players in this position, because I think Curtis Jones is a high -quality player, but it’s not his favorite position.
“So it is always – not always – to have a player in his favorite position, but possibly be better for the team. And Conor did us as well this season, just like Trent [Alexander-Arnold]. But when Trent was not there at the time, they always hope to look behind them and see that Conor is available.
“But if he is not, we have to solve this problem. And we are not the only team in this league that had these problems. We tried to make the best of it.
“It worked very well against Everton. I think Curtis also played well against Fulham. Of course he was involved in the goal, but you can ask yourself whether he could do so much about it. In my opinion, he played twice very well.
“But now to have Conor back, we would all make the same decision, and Conor plays that in this position.”
Liverpool goes into the game in a fine atmosphere. They close a second Premier League title and have 11 points in front of Arsenal with only 21 players for whom 21 were still to be played, and on Friday and confirmed a new two-year contract for Talisman Mohamed Salah after months of speculation about his future.
