It is a massive blow for Conor Bradley, Northern Ireland and Liverpool
Michael O'Neill says he is resigned to losing Conor Bradley for the remainder of the European qualifiers after revealing the defender suffered a stress fracture in his back.
Steven Davis, Stuart Dallas and Corry Evans remain on the long-term injury list, while Shane Ferguson, Jamal Lewis and Aaron Donnelly are also out. "We knew he had no chance for these games and I would have to say that probably October will come a little bit too quickly for him as well. I would hope he would be back in November but that’s the type of injury that you have to be careful with. I wouldn’t want to commit too much to that.
It has been a difficult campaign to date for O'Neill and his players, who beat San Marino before losing to Denmark, Finland and Kazakhstan.
