Live from Anfield, Liverpool Star out till December. Liverpool dealt huge injury blow as in-form Ibrahima Konate leaves the field in AGONY during clash with Brighton… with defender forced to use his shirt as a makeshift sling. This is not looking good for Liverpool this is another inform player out with an injury💔🙀🙀
Liverpool faces an anxious wait for updates on the extent of Ibrahima Konate’s injury, which occurred just before halftime in their match against Brighton.
The 25-year-old defender was chosen by Arne Slot to partner with captain Virgil Van Dijk in an effort to counter Brighton’s formidable attack.
However, Brighton managed to break the deadlock in the 14th minute with a goal from Ferdi Kadioglu.
Shortly before halftime, Konate went down with an apparent injury, complicating what was already a challenging match for Slot.
Liverpool reporter James Pearce noted on X that Konate required medical attention on the field, with the issue appearing to involve his shoulder or elbow.
Should Konate be unable to continue, he would join Diogo Jota, Alisson, Harvey Elliott, and Federico Chiesa on Liverpool’s growing injury list—posing another challenge for Slot, who had hoped to capitalize on Arsenal’s earlier draw with Newcastle United.
