Overview
- Bradley has had knee surgery and is expected to miss the rest of the season, leaving Liverpool thin at right-back during a congested run of fixtures.
- Jeremie Frimpong is the leading candidate to fill in despite being attack-minded, and Slot says he will manage the Dutchman’s minutes carefully.
- Joe Gomez can deputise on the right but his recent availability and the loss of centre-back cover make him a risky primary solution.
- Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones have been used at full-back in emergencies, though Slot has expressed reluctance to continue that approach.
- Liverpool are monitoring potential market opportunities, including Marc Guehi, but the preference remains internal solutions unless the right deal emerges.
