Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate has provided a positive update on the injury that forced him off the field at half-time during Liverpool’s win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
The centre-back suffered a knock on the arm shortly before the interval in Liverpool’s Premier League win over the Seagulls. He could not continue after the interval and was replaced by Joey Gomez for the second half.
Konate underwent a subsequent assessment by the club’s medical team to determine if he suffered a spell on the sidelines and it was later revealed that the issue was not serious.
“Thanks for all the messages of support. Thankfully my injury is not serious. I had a scan today and it confirmed there is no break. I will be ready for the next game,” the France international posted on social media.
Liverpool will host Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen for matchday four of the Champions League at Anfield on Tuesday night, followed by their home game against Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday.
