Liverpool fans can breathe a sigh of relief following the news that defender Ibrahima Konate has made a swift recovery from a wrist injury sustained during Saturday\u2019s Premier League victory over Brighton. <\/p>\n
The French centre-back was substituted at halftime after Virgil van Dijk inadvertently stepped on his arm during a set-piece. The skipper almost looked on a mission to take out as many of his own team-mates as possible, also clattering Kostas Tsimikas in a separate incident.<\/p>\n
Initial concerns hinted that Konate could miss several weeks, which would have been terrible timing as the club juggles a demanding schedule across domestic and European competitions. Fortunately scans have confirmed no fracture though, with the player suffering only cuts and tissue damage. <\/p>\n
Konate himself took to Instagram to reassure fans, stating, \u201cMy injury isn\u2019t serious thankfully. I had a scan today and it confirmed there is no break. I\u2019ll be ready for the next game.\u201d True to his word, Konate was seen training normally on Monday, indicating he is fit to face Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Manager Arne Slot confirmed that Konate should be available for the Champions League clash, as the Reds look to continue their 100% start in the competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s available to play,\u201d Slot said, speaking at a pre-match press conference.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he\u2019s completely recovered so he can play. Then it\u2019s up to me to make the decision if he plays or not. He\u2019s in a good place.\u201d<\/p>\n
Should Slot choose to give Konate additional time to recover, either Joe Gomez or Jarell Quansah will step up to partner van Dijk at the back. Gomez was the preferred option following Konate\u2019s withdrawal against Brighton, and his manager praised the 27-year-old\u2019s contribution, noting, \u201cJoe is a top, top professional\u2026he always gives the best for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whilst Konate\u2019s return offers a welcome boost, Slot remains cautious following an unimpressive first-half display against the Seagulls as the Reds struggled both in possession and in their defensive shape. With Bayer Leverkusen likely to offer similar challenges, Slot emphasized the importance of a consistent, high-level performance across the full 90 minutes, underscoring that they cannot afford another sluggish start.<\/p>\n
Alisson Becker, Federico Chiesa, Harvey Elliott and Diogo Jota will all definitely miss the Leverkusen clash, with the quartet again absent from training on Monday. Slot has previously confirmed that they are expected to remain unavailable until after the November international break.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
