Conor Bradley was spotted as part of Liverpool’s first-team training session yesterday, as they prepare for Porto tonight.
Liverpool vs Porto preparation
Liverpool are expected to name a much changed line-up for the fixture, as Jurgen Klopp’s side have already sealed their progress to the knockout stages of the competition.
While Klopp did say that he can’t rest everyone at his press conference yesterday, it seems highly likely that he will rotate most his key players.
And Bradley may well be one of the young players who features.
As Liverpool prepared for the fixture at the AXA Training Centre, as few of their leading prospects were seen in the pre-match session.
Bradley was joined by Tyler Morton and Owen Beck, as Klopp put his players through their paces.
Morton is widely expected to start tonight, as he came off the bench for Liverpool against Arsenal at the weekend.
European debut incoming?
Bradley’s inclusion could be fine reward for his showings in their development side.
Bradley has played for Liverpool in both their League Cup games this season, but this would be by far and away his biggest test so far.
The right-back, who has been labelled ‘fantastic’ and a ‘great talent’ by Neco Williams, appears to be ready to make the step up though.
Bradley is tipped to have an extremely bright future with the Reds, the only issue is that he is competing with Trent Alexander-Arnold for a spot.
Alexander-Arnold is so crucial to Liverpool it is practically impossible to see him losing his spot in the first-team, but Bradley could well have the chance to prove his ability to be the first option to cover at right-back tonight.
