Injury has been diagnosed as a hamstring injury, which he faced in the first match, and was substituted in the 60th minute.

Expected Recovery Time and Conor Bradley

He will not be available for the upcoming matches against Newcastle United and Arsenal. He also added that the medical team was completely right to tell me to take him off, and he's out now at the end of the international break, and that happens in the game.
