Liverpool have been dealt a heavy blow as promising defender Conor Bradley is set to miss the rest of the season with a serious knee injury, according to British reports.

The Northern Irish international, 22, is expected to undergo surgery, The Times reports, which would end his campaign prematurely.

Bradley sustained the injury during the 0-0 draw with Arsenal in the Premier League last Thursday.

The Reds sit fourth in the Premier League table on 35 points, 14 behind leaders Arsenal.
