Conor Bradley - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Progressing toward group work Bradley (knee) remains in a good place in his recovery from a long-term injury, with manager Andoni Iraola commenting Thursday that "Conor is not so far from training with the grou...

Impact Bradley could still be far from making a competitive comeback, but this is another positive step for him as he looks to return at some point in the 2026/27 season. The defender has been sidelined since suffering a severe knee injury in January, so he'll likely need plenty more time to regain a role in the contention with Ronald Araujo and Jeremie Frimpong.

Impact Bradley remains sidelined from full team sessions as he continues his rehabilitation from a knee injury suffered against Arsenal in January. The defender only resumed individual ball work in mid-September after a lengthy period of recovery, leaving him without an appearance so far this season. He will need to progress through collective training and a phased fitness build-up before returning to contention at right-back.

Impact Bradley continues to recover from the serious knee injury that required surgery in January, with Northern Ireland head coach Michael O'Neill previously saying a return this side of Christmas would be a real bonus and pointing to March as a more likely target. This latest update reinforces that his path back remains a lengthy one, and Liverpool is expected to continue managing his rehabilitation with extreme caution given the significant bone and ligament damage involved.

Unlikely to return before 2027 Bradley (knee) is unlikely to return to action before the end of 2026 as he continues his recovery from surgery, according to Northern Ireland head coach Michael O'Neill, per Liver...

Impact Bradley continues to make progress in his recovery from the serious knee injury that required surgery in January, but he remains some way from returning to full team training. Given the significant bone and ligament damage involved, Liverpool are expected to remain cautious with his rehabilitation. A return before the end of 2026 now appears unlikely, with early 2027 emerging as a more realistic target for his competitive comeback.

Working on grass Bradley (knee) is making progress in his recovery, with the club posting pictures of him running without the ball during offseason training in Chicago.

Impact Bradley is still several weeks away from returning to competitive play, but he could appear at some point in the 2026/27 season. He has been sidelined since January, so he's not expected to make an immediate return to significant workload, instead seeing minutes off the bench as soon as he's fit enough. Whenever that happens, he'll step into the right-back rotation of a squad that lacks natural backup options behind Jeremie Frimpong.

Still months from return Bradley (knee) is still months from a return, according to James Pearce of The Athletic.

Impact Bradley underwent knee surgery in January and is still not nearing his return to play, as the defender is set to miss a few more months. This would likely leave a return for some time in September or October, although that will depend on his training. Either way, this is a huge hit to the team, as they could enter the season with no true right-back, forcing Dominik Szoboszlai to then likely start there.

JULY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Set for competition at right back Bradley made the trip to Chicago as Liverpool begin preseason preparations under new coach Andoni Iraola, the club announced.

Impact Bradley is considered an important piece of Iraola's plans this season, though he faces competition for the right back spot from Jeremie Frimpong. The trip gives him an opportunity to build his case for a starting role under the new coaching setup, with places expected to be earned through performance rather than handed out. His involvement on the tour will factor into how Iraola shapes the squad ahead of the new campaign. Bradley is expected to be given a real chance to stake his claim during the preseason program.

JULY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Returns for preseason testing Bradley (knee) returned to Liverpool's Kirkby facility for initial physical testing as preseason preparations begin under new coach Andoni Iraola, the club posted.

Impact Bradley is viewed as a key part of coach Andoni Iraola's plans this season, though he will face competition at right back from Jeremie Frimpong. The defender now has an opportunity to establish himself as a starter under the new coaching setup, with places expected to be earned rather than handed out. His preseason work will be an important factor as Iraola shapes his squad ahead of the new campaign.

Impact Bradley is still working on his return and rehabilitation after a major knee surgery, as the defender is now questionable to even make a return for preseason. However, this is still in the air, as with months until preseason, there is a chance he can see a boost in that time. This remains a story point to watch, as it does mean he could miss the start of the next season, a rough realization for the full-back, as he was a starter this campaign when fit.

Undergoes knee surgery Bradley has undergone knee surgery and will begin rehab in the coming days and weeks.

Impact Bradley will miss the rest of the season, but it hasn't been confirmed that he'll miss the World Cup if Northern Ireland make it there. More information should be revealed by Liverpool in the coming weeks on a possible return date, as it's still unclear what the actual knee injury was. If he can get back to training in a few months, there's a real chance he'll be ready by June.
