The French international defender was replaced at half-time in the match that the Reds played against Brighton this Saturday, in the English championship. Worry ?
Hard blow for the Blues? Ibrahima Konaté was replaced at half-time of the Liverpool-Brighton match (2-1) this Saturday at Anfield, after being injured at the end of the first period. And this is five days before Didier Deschamps’ next list. Starting with the French team in October, during the last rally, the 25-year-old central defender was apparently injured in the left wrist. His partner Virgil van Dijk, quite unintentionally, stepped on him during a corner. Konaté was replaced by Joe Gomez.
“It was a corner, a lot of players around the ball and I think I hit him on the arm, I’m not sure, but I hope it’s not serious. We can play with an arm injury (smile)”laughed the captain of the Reds.

Noting that the Frenchy has “been good since the start of the season”the Dutch technician emphasized having “two very good options also with Jarell Quansah and Joe Gomez”. As for Konaté, Slot explained that he is “always difficult to judge an injury in the first hour or 10 minutes after a match. Let’s hope he comes back soon because so far he’s had a big impact on our season. But Joe deserved the confidence I placed in him today because he was exceptional in the second half. Suspense.
