Iraola provides Bradley and Ekitike injury update – 'In a good place'

Bradley nearing return to group training after nine months out with knee injury; Ekitike progressing well from ruptured Achilles.

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola provided an injury update on two key players. Conor Bradley, sidelined since January with a serious knee injury suffered at Arsenal, is close to joining group training sessions at the AXA Training Centre. Hugo Ekitike, who ruptured his Achilles against Paris Saint-Germain in April, is progressing according to plan and remains slightly further behind Bradley in his recovery. Both players are described as "doing very well" and "in a good place" by Iraola.
