The right-back appeared to be in severe pain as he collapsed after seemingly slipping.
However, Bradley’s injury triggered an unusual reaction from opponent Martinelli, who angrily attempted to...
This led to a major confrontation as emotions flared between both teams.
Martinelli’s actions ultimately backfired, as Bradley was later carried off the field on a stretcher.
Now, Arne Slot’s team could be without the Northern Irishman for an extended period.
Exclusive footage from SunSport at the Emirates showed Bradley exiting the stadium on crutches.
The defender moved cautiously as he limped toward Liverpool’s team bus.
The Reds are anxious about his fitness amid an injury crisis that already sidelined both Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike for Thursday’s match.
Martinelli’s conduct towards Bradley drew widespread criticism from pundits, with Gary Neville leading the charge during the Sky Sports commentary.

“Bradley is being stretchered off. I’m really upset with Martinelli, to be honest. It was disgraceful.
“I’m surprised a Liverpool player hasn’t confronted Martinelli after that.”
Neville’s feelings were reflected by former Manchester United teammate Roy Keane.

Former Liverpool star Daniel Sturridge concurred, adding: “It’s disappointing to witness.
