Ibrahima Konaté confirms injury and raises fears of long Liverpool absence
- Defender out of Manchester City game with knee injury
- ‘Now we start the recovery process,’ he writes in post
Ibrahima Konaté is out of Liverpool’s top-of-the-table clash with Manchester City and has raised concerns he faces an extended spell on the sidelines.
The in-form Liverpool defender sustained a knee injury in the closing minutes of Wednesday’s Champions League win over Real Madrid after a foul by the substitute Endrick. Konaté had to be helped from the pitch after the 2-0 victory at Anfield and was assessed at Liverpool’s training ground on Thursday.
