Ibrahima Konaté injured, Liverpool and the Blues waiting

Propelled to the top of the Premier League by their victory against Brighton (2-1) and by the poor results of the competition, the Reds had an excellent Saturday afternoon, which could still have been better if Ibrahima Konaté was not not out just before halftime, left arm in a sling. Accompanied by a trainer, the 25-year-old defender grimaced, head down, victim of an unusual phase of play on an offensive corner.
