The French defender’s early exit during the commanding 5-1 victory over Sparta Prague has reignited concerns of yet another injury setback for the Reds.
Jurgen Klopp finds himself grappling with a mounting injury list, with key players such as Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker, Diogo Jota, Thiago Alcantara, and Curtis Jones already sidelined. Regarding Konate’s condition, Klopp expressed cautious optimism, noting that while the player seemed positive initially, definitive clarity awaits pending scan results, but the latest news are bad for the French defender.
Joe Gomez’s substitution during the Sparta Prague fixture was, however, a tactical decision rather than injury-related, offering a semblance of relief amidst Liverpool’s injury woes.
Nevertheless, Konate’s potential absence poses a significant setback for Klopp’s defensive lineup, particularly considering the player’s impactful performances throughout the season.
As the team prepares to take the field at Anfield, the absence of Konate underscores the challenges Liverpool must navigate in their pursuit of victory against a formidable opponent like Manchester City.
