Meanwhile, Bradley sustained a muscle injury vs Aston Villa. Arne Slot revealed<\/a> that the right-back \u201cis out for a few weeks. I cannot tell exactly how many but it is clear that he went off with a muscle injury and that it is going to take a while before he is back\u201d. With Alexander-Arnold comfortably the number one right-back, it shouldn\u2019t be a huge loss.<\/p>\n
