Joe Bradley, father of Liverpool right-back Conor, has passed away at home in Tyrone following a battle with illness.
Bradley, 58, has seen his footballer son break into Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side in recent weeks, with 20-year-old Conor putting in man-of-the-match performances against both Norwich in the FA Cup and Chelsea in the Premier League in the last six days.
Liverpool are likely to leave the decision of his involvement in Sunday’s crunch clash at Arsenal to the player himself.
