According to the Liverpool Echo, Jürgen Klopp could hand Conor Bradley his debut for Liverpool tonight in the Carabao Cup clash with Norwich.
What’s the story?
Well, the Liverpool Echo believe Neco Williams would’ve been an automatic choice to start tonight.
However, the 20-year-old is unfortunately injured, as confirmed on Liverpool’s official website.
As a result, Bradley is set to benefit by making his first ever appearance for Liverpool’s first-team.
The Liverpool Echo believe Klopp is also likely to give a debut to Kaide Gordon, the 16-year-old who was signed from Derby.
If he plays, the Reds owe Derby – who are currently in serious financial difficulty – £100,000 – that could be massive for the Rams.
Who is Liverpool prodigy Conor Bradley?
Despite him being on the cusp of his Liverpool debut, you might not know much about Bradley.
The 18-year-old is naturally a right-back, and has made 39 appearances in total across Liverpool’s youth ranks.
In that time, Bradley has scored four goals and assisted five.
The full-back is also a senior international.
Liverpool’s defensive gem has one cap for Northern Ireland, which is quite impressive seeing as he’s yet to make his debut for the Reds.
Up against Daniel Farke’s Norwich, it should be a good test for the teenager with Premier League opposition to take on.
Bradley could find himself up against Todd Cantwell, or possibly Milot Rashica – both players can be very dangerous on their day.
Hopefully, Bradley can impress at Carrow Road tonight, and enjoy many more appearances under Klopp throughout his career.
