Slot provides injury update on Joe Gomez and shares positive news on Conor Bradley.

Liverpool have received a boost ahead of the weekend, with Conor Bradley set to return to the squad for the Premier League trip to Leeds United.

The Northern Ireland defender, who has missed the last four games, is back in full training and ready for selection after Arne Slot confirmed his availability during his pre-match press conference.

Slot said Bradley has trained throughout the week and is expected to be involved, which is timely given recent injury problems in defence. Joe Gomez also picked up a knock against West Ham, but the manager remains confident he will train and be fit for the match.

Bradley’s comeback is especially important as Liverpool try to rebuild momentum following their hard-fought draw with Sunderland, where their lack of defensive depth was noticeable despite Florian Wirtz rescuing a late point.

His return strengthens the right side of defence and gives Slot more tactical options for the trip to Elland Road.

Bradley has already proven himself in big games, with Ian Wright previously praising his impressive display against Real Madrid. Joe Gomez, too, appears to be rediscovering his best form, earning praise from Virgil van Dijk after the West Ham match.

With both defenders close to full fitness, Liverpool head into the Leeds game with renewed confidence. Slot’s handling of injuries and rotation will be crucial as the team juggles Premier League duties with Champions League commitments. Bradley’s return provides a much-needed lift as Liverpool aim to climb back up the table.
