# Conor Bradley Misses Out on Liverpool’s Pre-Season Visit to Singapore with Minor Injury
Liverpool’s pre-season tour of Singapore has been marred by the news that Conor Bradley has missed out due to a minor injury. The Northern Irishman had impressed in two friendly outings during the Reds’ training camp in Germany, putting himself in the frame for further first-team involvement this summer.
## Conor Bradley’s Injury
The 20-year-old was a surprise omission from Thursday’s travelling party for a trip to Asia that will feature meetings with Leicester City and Bayern Munich. With reports of a new contract following the news of his injury, many had speculated that a loan move might be imminent. However, This Is Anfield understands that Bradley is in fact nursing a minor injury issue that would have restricted his involvement in Singapore. As such, he has been left behind at the AXA Training Centre to recover.
## Bradley’s Potential Role in 2023-24
Bradley will hope to be back to full fitness soon so that he can continue stating his case for regular games next term. The young right-back impressed during a season-long stay at Bolton Wanderers last time out, making over 50 appearances in all competitions. But the pre-season period represents a chance to show he is capable of playing a supporting role to Trent Alexander-Arnold in 2023-24. The Northern Irishman has looked a natural fit for the new hybrid defender/midfield role Alexander-Arnold currently occupies.
## Conclusion
Conor Bradley’s injury is a setback for Liverpool’s pre-season plans, but it is hoped that he will be back to full fitness soon and able to make an impact for the Reds in the upcoming season. His impressive performances at Bolton Wanderers last season suggest that he could be a valuable asset for Liverpool in 2023-24, and the pre-season period provides an ideal opportunity for him to prove his worth.
