Conor Bradley: Liverpool star will be 'huge' for us, says Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill

Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill says Conor Bradley will be a "huge player for us" as he praised the young defender's "fantastic" recent performances for Liverpool.

Bradley scored his first Liverpool goal and notched two assists in the Reds' 4-1 win over Chelsea last month.

The 20-year-old missed Sunday's defeat by Arsenal following the death of his father.

"I'd known of Conor from my tenure the first time," said O'Neill.

"He was an under-16 player going to Liverpool. We obviously had high hopes for him. He's dealt with a very difficult situation at home.
