‘Probably fall asleep’ – Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hails tireless shift from youngster Conor Bradley in Carabao Cup win over Fulham

Jurgen Klopp joked that young full-back Conor Bradley would likely “fall asleep in the dressing room” after his team’s 2-1 win against Fulham.

• The 20-year-old put in an impressive display as the Reds came from behind to win the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Anfield. The German manager was delighted with the right-back’s performance and praised his character.

• WHAT KLOPP SAID”He will probably fall asleep in the dressing room,” Klopp told Sky Sports. “Wonderful, what a boy, what a character. Exceptional. What a boy. Wonderful character, a real talent, top potential. He is in the right team, everyone loves him and respects him and wants him to succeed.”Bradley made his senior debut for the Merseyside club last season and was kept out of action for the beginning of the current campaign through injury. Since his return to the fold in November, though, he has featured five times, including in the recent FA Cup win against Arsenal.

He will have to wait a while before he can get a run out in the top flight, though, with Liverpool next in action on January 21 when they take on Bournemouth.
