Heartbreaking News has just been announced for Liverpool few hours before Liverpool vs Manchester City clash as reports coming from Anfield that six Liverpool stars are set to miss the big game against Manchester City today 😱😱 This is the worst news to hear today 😭💔
Liverpool may face Manchester City on Sunday without six crucial players, following injuries sustained during their 2-0 victory over Real Madrid on Wednesday.
Both Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate suffered setbacks, with Konate later revealing on Instagram that a knee injury might keep him out for an extended period.
“Injuries like this are always frustrating after such a big game,” Konate shared. “I’m starting my recovery now and will come back even stronger. Thank you for the incredible support at Anfield. Inshallah, we’ll keep moving forward, and I’ll support the team from the sidelines.”
Bradley is believed to have sustained a hamstring injury, potentially opening up opportunities for Trent Alexander-Arnold or Joe Gomez to return to the starting XI. Alexander-Arnold, recently recovered from his own hamstring issue, was an unused substitute against Real Madrid. Harvey Elliott, back after a foot fracture, has also been absent from action since late August.
Liverpool had hoped the November international break would ease their injury burden, particularly with players like Elliott expected to resume training soon. Federico Chiesa has taken part in some training but remains unavailable, while Diogo Jota and Alisson Becker are still recovering from long-term injuries. Kostas Tsimikas is also sidelined due to an ankle issue, leaving Jarell Quansah as the only senior defensive option on the bench.
Despite these challenges, Liverpool have navigated injuries more effectively than some rivals, including Manchester City and Arsenal, whose injury absences have drawn greater scrutiny. Manager Arne Slot remains confident in his squad’s depth and resilience.
“This is part of any season,” Slot said after losing Konate and Bradley midweek. “If they can’t play, others will step up like they’ve done all season.” He emphasized that injuries only become a focus when results dip, commending his team for maintaining their form despite key absences. “We’ve missed players like Alisson, Jota, and Trent recently, but the replacements have performed so well that it’s gone largely unnoticed,” he added.
As Konate and Bradley join Liverpool’s injury list, players like Chiesa, Alisson, and Jota edge closer to recovery. However, the team continues to experience setbacks, with one player returning as another becomes unavailable.
Slot remains optimistic about Liverpool’s ability to overcome adversity and aims to keep injuries from overshadowing their Premier League ambitions as they prepare for the clash against M
anchester City.
