Bradley will undergo surgery in the coming days to repair bone and ligament damage, but it is not an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Bradley will miss Northern Ireland's World Cup play-off tie with Italy in March, but it is unclear whether he would be fit in time for this summer's World Cup should Michael O'Neill's side qualify through the play-offs. Martinelli to avoid further punishment for push on injured BradleyLiverpool news & transfers🔴 | Liverpool fixtures & scoresGot Sky? Watch Liverpool games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 Liverpool revealed there is "no timeframe being placed" yet on the 22-year-old's return. Confirmation of Bradley's injury comes after Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli had pushed the defender as he lay injured on the ground before being stretchered off. Martinelli was booked by referee Anthony Taylor following the stoppage-time flashpoint with the winger widely criticised for his behaviour, which provoked anger among Liverpool's players. But the Brazilian, who apologised for his actions on social media after the game, will avoid further punishment from the Football Association, with the matter considered dealt with as it was seen at the time by Taylor. Martinelli returned to action in Arsenal's 4-1 win over Portsmouth in the FA Cup third round on Sunday. After the match, Mikel Arteta praised the response to the incident from Arne Slot, who placed no blame on the forward. "I must say I think the way Arne Slot spoke after the game, was brilliant. He knows how the players feel about themselves, how they feel about their colleagues. "That is somebody who knows the game really well, and how you react in a certain way. There was no intention to damage a player or not to respect a player." Bradley had made 21 appearances this season, having missed a number of matches with a hamstring problem. It leaves Reds head coach Arne Slot with Jeremie Frimpong, who has had his own injury problems since joining from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer, and Joe Gomez, himself only just returning from a hamstring issue, as cover, but neither can be considered a genuine right-back. Slot has had to utilise midfielders Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones in the position this season. Keane: That behaviour is an absolute disgrace Sky Sports' Roy Keane was critical of Martinelli's actions, labelling them as "an absolute disgrace". "It's not good. We know football, the player is a good lad," he said. "Throwing the ball at him, standing over him and getting a little knee on him. He tries to force him off. "That behaviour is an absolute disgrace. He's a good boy to roll over himself. Hopefully, Martinelli will have a look at it and hopefully, he'll apologise for it. Not good stuff that." Daniel Sturridge added: "It's disappointing to see. There's passion and there's being a winner, there's wanting to help your team-mates, but you've got to be respectful as a footballer. "Injuries are never a nice feeling. Martinelli is thinking time wasting but you've got to be self aware enough to see the guy is down. You've been there before. "It's disrespectful. It's probably worse than disrespectful." 'Reaction from Liverpool players saves Martinelli' Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher on Sky Sports News' Ref Watch: "If the players leave it alone, it's easier for the referee to deal with Martinelli. Once everyone else gets involved, it ramps up everything else. "I think what Martinelli does gets diluted and in many ways, they have helped him stay on the field." On if Martinelli should've received retrospective punishment: "I think not. "He's been given a yellow card for his actions. If the players leave it to the referee, he's got a different landscape to deal with. When they all pile in, he's got to check everybody else. "I think there's not quite enough there [for it to be a red card]."

The Panthers battled back valiantly in the face of ominous early Rams dominance as they fought from 14-0 down to lead 31-27 with 2.39 remaining thanks to Jalen Coker's go-ahead touchdown. But Sean McVay's side would shelve their second-half struggles by way of Matthew Stafford's 19-yard strike to tight end Parkinson, who did superbly to high-point his quarterback's pass at the sideline before swivelling, keeping both feet inbounds and reaching for the end zone.

Extinguished was the electricity of a crowd that dared to believe their team was on the brink of its first playoff win in a decade, having scraped into the postseason as 8-9 NFC South champions. Puka Nacua found the end zone twice for the Rams and accounted for 111 of Stafford's 304 yards, while Coker registered a career-best nine catches for 134 of Bryce Young's 264 yards alongside two rushing touchdowns from Chuba Hubbard.

Back came All-Pro Stafford on the following possession to navigate an 11-play drive culminating in Kyren Williams' 13-yard touchdown catch to make it 27-24. The Rams defense subsequently forced a three-and-out before another twist ensued when Isaiah Simmons blocked Ethan Evans' punt to set the Panthers up at the 30-yard line. It paved the way for Young to float an expertly-weighted seven-yard touchdown pass into the arms of Coker four plays later, lifting the Panthers to a 31-27 lead with 2.39 left and igniting a hopeful spike in crowd noise. Stafford's reply would see to dampening as much when a 71-yard march ended in his perfectly-placed scoring strike to Parkinson, who evaded Tre'von Moehrig to cross the goalline. Carolina had one last chance to salvage the game only for Jimmy Horn to drop a fourth-and-10 pass from Young as the Rams held on for the win. One-way traffic had threatened a premature conclusion when McVay's side cruised to a two-touchdown lead with 12.16 remaining in the first half after two Panthers turnovers. The Rams opened with a fourth-down stop on the Panthers' opening drive, before Stafford punished by connecting with Nacua for a 14-yard touchdown. Nacua then doubled up to make it 14-0 with a five-yard run in the wake of Cobie Durant's interception. Carolina reduced the deficit to 17-14 at the break following Hubbard's one-yard rushing touchdown and a 16-yard scramble to the house by Young. Nacua could have been in again before half-time but dropped a pass along the right sideline. Watch every minute of the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium live on Sky Sports NFL.

Both former United players have now met with the club's bosses and made their pitches for the job. Sky Sports News has been told Carrick was particularly impressive in those meetings, but there is also an awareness of how popular Solskjaer was during his previous stint as head coach. The current short-term interim head coach, Darren Fletcher, said after the 2-1 defeat by Brighton in the FA Cup that he has now reached the end of his agreed period in charge of the first team, and he will report to the Carrington Training Centre on Monday to find out what the club want from him next. Man Utd 1-2 Brighton - report and reactionGot Sky? Watch Man Utd games LIVE on your phone📱Not got Sky? Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW📺 Also on Monday, further talks will take place concerning Carrick and Solskjaer, with director of football Jason Wilcox leading those meetings. The club want the situation resolved as soon as possible, in order to give the new man the rest of the week to prepare the team for Saturday's Manchester derby at Old Trafford. United only have the Premier League to focus on now, having been knocked out of both cup competitions, and so the focus for the new interim head coach will be to qualify for European football next season. Neville: Solskjaer return would be like Groundhog Day Sky Sports' Gary Neville on a potential return for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: "They put Ryan [Giggs] in charge 10 years ago, then Ole came in charge and you go back to the old boys, then you go for a new one, then you go for more experience. "It is almost like a cycle, like a movie we have all seen before and Groundhog Day. "What I do think is Ole is someone who absolutely loves the club, he knows the job, he has been in the job." A 40 game season: What is left to play for? The final whistle against Brighton was met with a few boos, then stunned silence. Just where do Manchester United go from here? One statistic flew around United's FA Cup defeat to Brighton. 40 games - that is how long United's season will be. Their shortest season since the 1914-15 campaign, where there were no cup games due to the First World War. Defeat to Grimsby in the Carabao Cup second round, then a first ever defeat to Brighton in the FA Cup also made it the first time United have been knocked out the two domestic cup competitions at the first hurdle since the 1981-82 season. That was not the only déjà vu United experienced on Sunday night. Another was Danny Welbeck. The last time United had 45 games or less in the season was 11 years ago, when Welbeck scored a FA Cup winner in a 2-1 win at Old Trafford for Arsenal. Sounds familiar. And with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick the two main contenders for the United interim job - having held those positions in the past - it's one nod to the past too many.

In one of the biggest upsets in FA Cup history, National League North Macclesfield, formed five years ago from the ashes of Macclesfield Town, started the day 117 places below Premier League Palace and became the first non-League team in 117 years to beat the FA Cup holders - ironically since then-Southern League side Palace beat Wolves in 1909. While Macclesfield celebrated a well-deserved 2-1 success, Palace boss Glasner looked stunned after seeing his side meekly surrender the trophy they won in May - the club's first major honour - and the Austrian said things need to change.

Get Sky Sports or stream with no contract on NOW 📺Download the Sky Sports app | Get Sky Sports on WhatsApp Speaking to the BBC, Glasner said: "Congratulations to Macclesfield. We lacked any kind of quality today. Conceding a set-play from a header - we had to do better. The second goal was slapstick. "At the other end, if you can't create clear-cut chances... it's just a lack of quality what we've shown today. We lost and we deserved to lose. "I was looking for quality from everyone. I brought on more attacking players [at half-time], but I have no explanation for what I've seen today. "You don't need tactics in these kinds of games. You just have to show what you're capable of and show a little bit of pride, and you'll perform in a different way. "But today we lacked everything." 'U21s would have done better' When asked what he said to his players in the aftermath of the defeat, Glasner told TalkSPORT: "Not a lot. "I think when you play here against a non-League team, I think you don't need tactics, I think you don't need a manager, honestly. "I was a player for 19 years so I know these things can happen, but the way we played - their goalkeeper could be man of the match and we could be in unlucky situations - but it wasn't that. "So that is what disappoints me most and this is what we have to change, we've seen this in the last weeks as well. "We conceded another set-play goal, so all the things, losing a header because we have no timing and the attack, it's no physicality, no pace, no dribbling, and then it's tough against any team. "But, on the other side, I think our U21s would have done better than we have done today. Therefore, things have to be changed." Crystal Palace are now without a win in their last nine matches in all competitions. They have lost six games in that run with their last victory coming against Shelbourne in the Conference League on December 11, and Glasner is now concerned for his side for the second half of the season. When asked if he was worried about his side's form, he said: "When you ask me straight after this game, yes, massively. "On the other side, I know the team and I know we need players back. "Looks like players who get the chance can't take it, maybe are not good enough, and it means we need all the others back because I've seen, a few weeks ago, a different team playing better. "We can see if we have five, six new players in the squad like we had today, didn't train the last month, then we have no structure and the individual quality is not good enough to win." 'Palace have been an embarrassment' Former Crystal Palace striker Clinton Morrison on Soccer Saturday: "Crystal Palace were nowhere near good enough. "Macclesfield were the better team. They were outstanding. "Palace were an embarrassment. I praise them all the time but they need calling out. Nowhere near good enough. "They thought they could just turn up at Macclesfield and win. "It's got nothing to do with the pitch. It's about going there and competing but Macclesfield wanted it more. "It's an unbelievable result for Macclesfield."

The already banged up 49ers without key players like Fred Warner, Nick Bosa and Ricky Pearsall to injury - among numerous others - also lost talismanic tight end George Kittle in the first half to a torn Achilles that ends his season. But San Francisco's playoff run is far from over, as they now head to NFC No 1 seeds Seattle Seahawks in next week's Divisional Round.

Get instant access with NOW Despite the loss of Kittle and the 49ers being down by six entering the fourth quarter, they'd take the lead on the very next play, a magnificent trick-play TD in which receiver Jauan Jennings tossed a 29-yard scoring strike to Christian McCaffrey. The Eagles, whose offense badly stalled in the second half - limited to just 23 yards up until that point, reclaimed the lead - going up 19-17 - off the back of a second Brock Purdy interception with eight minutes to go. But Purdy answered back to lead another scoring drive - this time finding McCaffrey in the end zone himself for what would prove the game-winning score with just under three minutes remaining. The Eagles converted on a 4th and 5 from their own 45-yard line with the game on the line, ultimately driving down to the San Francisco 21-yard line before Jalen Hurts threw three-straight incompletions to end the contest - recently acquired 49ers linebacker Eric Kendricks breaking up the key fourth down pass from Hurts intended for Dallas Goedert. Stats leaders: 49ers Passing: Brock Purdy, 18/31, 262 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTsRushing: Christian McCaffrey, 15 carries, 48 yardsReceiving: Demarcus Robinson, 6 catches, 111 yards, 1 TD Eagles Passing: Jalen Hurts, 20/35, 168 yards, 1 TDRushing: Saquon Barkley, 26 carries, 106 yardsReceiving: DeVonta Smith, 9 catches, 70 yards San Francisco had come flying out of the blocks on offense, scoring on their opening series as Demarcus Robinson followed up a monster 61-yard reception on just the second play from scrimmage with a five-yard TD to cap the drive. Philadelphia answered back immediately as Goedert bagged his first of two first-half touchdowns, running in this one from down at the goal line before coming down with a nine-yard grab in the end zone to earn the Eagles the lead in the second quarter. The 49ers, after their explosive start, were suddenly stalling on offense amidst Kittle's injury, going three-and-out twice before adding an Eddy Piniero field goal to cut the Eagles' lead to three at 13-10. Some poor clock management denied San Francisco the chance to tie things up in the final minute before the half, which was ended with a Purdy fumble out of bounds as the clock ran down. Purdy was picked off to end the 49ers' opening series of the second half - Quinyon Mitchell coming down with both of the quarterback's picks - but the Eagles' increasingly anaemic offense couldn't capitalise on the error. A Jake Elliott field goal late in the third quarter would stretch Philly's advantage to six once more, at 16-10, before the 49ers rallied in superb fashion in the final quarter to clinch a remarkable road victory over the defending champs and keep their own Super Bowl dreams alive.
