Fit-again Bradley could feature against Everton

Conor Bradley has returned to training following a hamstring injury

Liverpool right-back Conor Bradley could feature in Wednesday's Premier League derby with Everton after returning to training.

The 21-year-old has been sidelined after being forced off with a hamstring injury in Liverpool's 2-2 draw with Aston Villa in February.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot said Bradley was back in training after missing six matches but he would have to be "smart" about his involvement at Anfield.

"We have to make a decision on whether he is playing, and if playing means coming in or starting," Slot said in Tuesday's press conference.

"That's something I keep for myself. He's only had a few sessions after being out for quite a long time with a repetitive injury so we have to make a smart decision."

With Trent Alexander-Arnold and Bradley injured, Jarell Quansah started at right-back in Liverpool's Carabao Cup final defeat by Newcastle United.

Bradley also missed Northern Ireland's friendlies with Switzerland and Sweden in March with the issue.

Liverpool hold a 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League with nine matches remaining.

Brazil goalkeeper Alisson and Netherlands midfielder Ryan Gravenberch are expected to be available for the derby despite withdrawing from their international squads.

"Ryan is OK. We have to train one more time but he is OK," added Slot.

"Ali trained with us as well. The last check has to be made this afternoon, after the session, to see if he is available to play."
