Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has been ruled out of Sunday’s highly anticipated match against Manchester City after confirming he has sustained an injury. The France international suffered the setback late in Wednesday’s Champions League victory over Real Madrid at Anfield.
Initial reports suggest the 25-year-old could be sidelined for approximately five to six weeks due to a knee issue, though the club has not confirmed this timeline. It is understood that while the injury is not considered long-term, the exact duration of Konate’s recovery remains uncertain.
Addressing the situation on Instagram, Konate expressed his frustration: “It’s so disappointing to pick up this injury right at the end of such a great game on Wednesday night.”
The news is a blow for Liverpool, as Konate has been a key figure in their defensive setup this season, and his absence will be keenly felt in upcoming fixtures. The club is expected to monitor his progress closely over the coming weeks.
