The right-back problem will no longer be a headache for Andoni Iraola.

There's a fair argument to make that Liverpool's lack of right-back options likely cost Arne Slot his job last season.

Sure, there were a multitude of reasons why Slot failed. But not replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold was probably the most costly impact on the team that won the Premier League title.

Without Alexander-Arnold, the Reds lost their creative guile going forward. Without him, they also lost a player who could reliably play most games throughout the season.

Instead, Slot had to play Jeremie Frimpong in the role, considering he was Liverpool's replacement for Trent.

That move, it's fair to say, has been a disaster with Dominik Szoboszlai taking over from Frimpong to finish off last season.

Obviously things would have been a lot more different had Bradley been available. But his horrific injury suffered against Arsenal last season ruled him out for the majority of the campaign.

There's no denying Bradley is a phenomenal player on his day. However, he is far too injury prone. Over the course of the last four seasons on average he has missed around 15-20 games every campaign in all competitions for the Reds.
