Liverpool FC news: Ibrahima Konate injury UPDATE

Ibrahima Konate injury status unknown

Arne Slot didn't give a single thing away when it came to injuries on Thursday. He refused to confirm the extent of Konate's problem - just that Liverpool were still in the process of checking on him.

"[Konate and Conor Bradley] are still being assessed so it is difficult to know where they are. Let's wait and see but it's never a good sign if players - Conor I had to take him off and Ibou didn't walk off the pitch as he should after such a fantastic game. He should have made a round and clapped to the fans but unfortunately he couldn't so that's not a good sign."

This one remains a mystery, then. It's entirely possible that Konate is fine but he could also be out for the foreseeable future.

We imagine what's actually happening here is Slot doesn't want to give away any injury news ahead of Manchester City on Sunday. Any information City have is a wasted advantage, after ll.

A win for Liverpool in that fixture will feel like a gigantic title statement, too. With Konate fit and available, the Reds have every expectation of getting that win. So let's hope that's the case.
