Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has said that Conor Bradley's injury will not force the club into the transfer market this month.

The right-back suffered a serious knee injury in the latter stages of the draw at Arsenal last week and, despite scans showing he had not suffered an ACL problem, underwent surgery this week. He is not expected to play again this season, further depleting Slot's numbers.

The Dutchman was asked ahead of that Arsenal game if he was happy with his defensive numbers, and following Bradley's injury, he has just six first-team defenders to choose from in the second half of the season.

However, Slot insisted ahead of Saturday's match against Burnley that setback will not alter Liverpool's plans in the January transfer window.
