The sad news comes just three days after Liverpool’s 4-1 win over Chelsea.
Bradley produced his best performance, scoring his first senior goal for the club.
The right-back finished brilliantly to double the Reds’ lead in the 39th minute.
His goal came on either side of assists for Diogo Jota and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Bradley has enjoyed a successful season at Anfield, making nine appearances in all competitions this season.
His first senior appearance came in the Carabao Cup against Norwich in September 2021.
The Northern Ireland international impressed last term on loan at League One side Bolton, winning their player of the year award.
Since then, Jurgen Klopp has sung his praises, saying: “What a wonderful kid he is.
“A few weeks ago when I was on holiday a few Bolton fans asked if they could bring Bradley back but it was too late.”
