Conor Bradley injury fears dismissed after sensational 2027 return claim

 

After claims Conor Bradley may not be back from a serious knee injury until 2027, sources have insisted the right-back is slated to return for Liverpool’s pre-season.

 

Conor Bradley Injury Claims: The Reality for Liverpool

 

The rumour: Recent claims suggested Bradley’s knee injury could sideline him until 2027, potentially missing the entire calendar year.

 

The reality: Club sources have dismissed these reports as unfounded, maintaining that the 22-year-old is still slated to return for pre-season in July.

 

World Cup hopes: While he is out for the rest of Liverpool’s season, he has not yet been officially ruled out of the 2026 World Cup.

 

Leoni update: Summer signing Giovanni Leoni is on a similar recovery path following ACL surgery, with both aiming to be ready for the start of 2026/27.

 

Bradley has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering ligament and bone damage in his knee during the 1-1 draw with Arsenal in December.

 

 

That is a major blow not only to Liverpool but also the player himself, who is now unable to help Northern Ireland in their push for a place at the 2026 World Cup as they face Italy in a playoff next month.

 

This week, injury analyst Ben Dinnery told Anfield Index that Bradley returning in 2026 would be a “massive bonus” and that it “could quite easily stretch into the early part of 2027.”

 

Liverpool’s expectation has always been that the 22-year-old would be back in time for pre-season in July – and sources have told Liverpool.com‘s Michael Plant that this remains the plan.

 

 

Claims that Bradley is more likely to make a comeback next year are unfounded and he is not yet ruled out of the World Cup, which takes place between June 11 and July 19.

 

The academy graduate underwent surgery in January and is not focused on his recovery work, writing on Instagram last month: “The comeback starts now.

 

“It won’t be for a little while but I already can’t wait to get back playing for Liverpool and Northern Ireland. Thanks for all the support.”

 

A similar timeframe is slated for Giovanni Leoni, who also required surgery after tearing his ACL on his first-team debut in September.

 

If both players are able to rejoin the squad for the start of preparations for 2026/27 it will be a major boost as they could be considered first-choice starters heading into the new campaign.

 

Much will hinge on the success of their rehabilitation, which means there will always be question marks over long-term return projections.

 

But the suggestion that Bradley could miss an entire year of football is clearly seen as wide of the mark at this stage.

 

Any spell on the sidelines could be extended by setbacks, as with Stefan Bajcetic who underwent hamstring surgery in May and is still not in contention despite being initially pencilled in to return towards the start of the season.

 

However that remains hypothetical when it comes to Bradley, and it can be considered damaging that such claims are made about his recovery.

 

Liverpool

The contract and paperwork are already in place for Liverpool to welcome back Jarell Quansah, who left Merseyside to join Bayer Leverkusen last summer, to help fill out the Reds’ thin defensive ranks

Yes — that claim lines up with multiple transfer-news reports: Liverpool could re-sign 23-year-old England centre-back Jarell Quansah from Bayer Leverkusen in future, thanks to a buy-back clause in the deal that sent him to Germany — but not immediately next season.

🔁 What’s Happening with Quansah and Liverpool

Quansah moved from Liverpool to Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2025 for a reported fee around £30m-£35m (plus add-ons), joining the Bundesliga side on a long-term contract.

As part of that transfer, Liverpool inserted a buy-back clause allowing the club to re-sign him in the future for a pre-agreed fee.

However, the clause cannot be activated until the summer of 2027 at the earliest.

TEAM

Reports suggest the buy-back figure could be around £50m-£60m (with potential add-ons increasing the fee), although exact numbers vary across sources.

There are also indications Liverpool have pre-agreed personal terms with Quansah should they trigger the buy-back, smoothing the path for a return.

TEAMtalk

🧠 Context for the Move

Quansah was a Liverpool academy graduate and made senior appearances before leaving, but opted for more first-team football in Germany.

Football Today

With his development in the Bundesliga and Liverpool’s evolving defensive needs, the idea of bringing him back — especially given future departures or ageing defenders — is being discussed in transfer circles.

TEAMtalk

Bottom line: the Football Insider claim that Liverpool could re-sign Quansah later isn’t unfounded — there is a buy-back clause — but any switch is realistically targeted for 2027 or beyond, not next summer.

BREAKING NEWS The Word From Liverpool Is’ – Arne Slot Sack Update Emerges After Man City Defeat

Published

on

 

Liverpool manager Arne Slot’s job is believed to be safe for now, despite their recent home defeat against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon, according to journalist David Lynch.

 

The Reds looked as though they were heading to victory after Dominik Szboszlai fired in a stunning free-kick from range to put his side in front. Late in the game, Bernardo Silva latched onto a headed throughball by Erling Haaland, poking past Alisson Becker to level the scoring.

 

In the final minutes, Man City were awarded a penalty, and Erling Haaland stepped up to slot into the bottom corner, scoring the winner for Pep Guardiola’s side. City had the ball in the net once again in the dying seconds, but play was brought back for a foul by Szoboszlai, who was sent off after a VAR review.

 

Arne Slot Safe at Liverpool

 

According to journalist Lynch, Slot’s job at Liverpool is safe at the moment, but he doesn’t buy into the idea that he can afford endless poor performances and results.

 

The word from Liverpool is that Arne Slot is safe, but I don’t really buy the idea he can afford endless poor performances and bad results until the end of the season. Today was both, in my opinion. https://t.co/sjMRhibrZK — David Lynch (@davidlynchlfc) February 8, 2026

 

Liverpool are seemingly willing to stick with Slot for now, which might not be a huge surprise after he won the Premier League title last season. Their achievement in the 2024/2025 campaign undoubtedly carries a lot of weight, with Slot having credit in the bank heading into this campaign.

 

Results will undoubtedly have to improve, and with one Premier League win in their previous seven games, the pressure is on Slot to turn things around as soon as possible.

Liverpool need to make a decision and soon, as they are in danger of seeing their season drift away from them. The Reds will have been aiming to lift the Premier League title once again, but now, even Champions League qualification is looking like a difficult task.

 

The mentality to throw away a 1-0 lead against Man City is the biggest disappointment for them, especially as they’ve notoriously been a bogey team for Guardiola at Anfield. The credit in the bank will only last so long, and the board must surely be considering making a change in the near future

If FSG think that 6 wins out of the last 20, a points per game ratio similar to Spurs, behind United, just 2 points ahead of Everton and some dreadful football thrown in means he’s safe, then what would he have to do to be in trouble? FSG must see that he is not the answer. The Kop will decide on Slot’s fate as they did with Hodgson.

 

 

The idea having credit in the bank for having a past title, that’s only a rhyme at Lfc. We saw Mourinho being sacked for far less bad results though he is/was a seasoned manager. Had Slot won the CL? At Lfc it is all about the money. They fabricate reasons just not to sign new players. They do the same not to sack.
