Liverpool FC manages right-side depth amid Conor Bradley injury
Liverpool FC is navigating significant personnel challenges across its right-sided positions. The club is currently managing a long-term injury to right-back Conor Bradley, who is recovering from knee surgery. Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill indicated that Bradley may not return to fitness until 2027, though any return before Christmas would be considered a bonus.
In the absence of Bradley, manager Andoni Iraola has experimented with various tactical solutions. Following underwhelming performances from Jeremie Frimpong, Araujo was deployed at right-back during a 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town. While Araujo lacks Frimpong’s attacking pace, supporters have praised his defensive solidity and tackling ability.
Additionally, the club is utilizing Victor Munoz to address depth on the right wing. The 23-year-old Spanish winger, signed from Osasuna for £34.5 million, has been utilized in wide areas to provide much-needed coverage following the departure of Mohamed Salah.
