'Probably fall asleep' - Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hails tireless shift from youngster Conor Bradley in Carabao Cup win over Fulham

The 20-year-old put in an impressive display as the Reds came from behind to win the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Anfield. The German manager was delighted with the right-back's performance and praised his character.

"He will probably fall asleep in the dressing room," Klopp told Sky Sports. "Wonderful, what a boy, what a character. Exceptional. What a boy. Wonderful character, a real talent, top potential. He is in the right team, everyone loves him and respects him and wants him to succeed."

Bradley made his senior debut for the Merseyside club last season and was kept out of action for the beginning of the current campaign through injury. Since his return to the fold in November, though, he has featured five times, including in the recent FA Cup win against Arsenal.

Despite making nine first-team appearances for Liverpool, Bradley is still waiting on the first Premier League game of his career. He will have to wait a while before he can get a run out in the top flight, though, with Liverpool next in action on January 21 when they take on Bournemouth.
