Liverpool are set to face Barnsley in the final FA Cup third-round clash on Monday night. The Reds managed to secure a crucial point against Arsenal on Thursday and will be aiming to build on this by advancing to the next stage of the cup.
Arne Slot's team put up a strong fight at the Emirates, but the Dutch manager was dealt another blow in defence when Conor Bradley had to be taken off on a stretcher after going down without any contact during injury time.
Bradley was spotted leaving the stadium on crutches, adding to Slot's concerns about Liverpool's growing injury list. In his post-match comments, he said: "I'm afraid that another injury has come up today, let's hope for the best, but I fear the worst for Conor Bradley."

Unfortunately, manager Slot has a host of injuries to deal with ahead of this FA Cup encounter. The absence of Bradley at right-back is the latest blow for the Reds.
Alexander Isak, Wataru Endo, Stefan Bajcetic and Giovanni Leoni have all been ruled out for the Barnsley match, while Hugo Ekitike is battling to make the squad. Mohamed Salah remains unavailable due to his AFCON commitments.
On the other hand, Barnsley are in a much healthier position regarding squad availability as they aim to repeat their famous victory over the Reds in the FA Cup in 2008. No new injury worries have been reported by Conor Hourihane's team.
