Liverpool FC can confirm Conor Bradley has sustained a significant knee injury.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT:
The right-back suffered the issue in the latter stages of Thursday night's Premier League fixture away at Arsenal.
Bradley will undergo surgery in the coming days and then begin a period of rehabilitation at the AXA Training Centre.
No timeframe is being placed on his return to playing at this stage of the process.
(End of the statement)
It is confirmed that his injury is not an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. But it can still cost the rest of his season.
Bradley will miss Northern Ireland's World Cup play-off tie with Italy in March.

shut the hell up, Bradley had an awkward landing. no fault of martinelli. he even patted him at first. martinelli was about to continue play but couldn't because Bradley was on the floor and was pulling himself back into the field which martinelli saw as time wasting as he didn't know Bradley was already injured from an awkward landing. he lost his cool and pushed cos he thought it was pretense but I see a few clowns wanting to crucify him for what a lot of players actually do in that situation. I'm not saying it was something proper, it wasn't.

Arsenal fans were pocking their noses that it wasn't anything serious that Bradley was pretending that Martineli was right. Shame on Arsenal fans with your unprofessional players go teach your players discipline. They are best rugby players
