Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate is facing a spell on the sidelines after limping off after the win over Real Madrid on Wednesday night with a knee injury.
The Frenchman has started every Premier League game bar the season opener at Ipswich, where he replaced Jarell Quansah at half-time in a tactical change. He has formed a formidable partnership with captain Virgil van Dijk.
But it appears Arne Slot will be without his trusted defensive pairing for the crunch clash against champions Manchester City on Sunday – and the hero of Wednesday night, Conor Bradley, is also not fit.
