Konaté, Liverpool hold their breath

Liverpool may not have emerged unscathed from their duel won against Real Madrid (2-0) this Tuesday in the Champions League. Despite a success confirming the very good form of Arne Slot’s men, several players from his squad finished the match in bad shape, starting with Ibrahima Konaté.

The Reds central defender, victim of a collision with Endrick in added time (90’+4), remained on the ground after the final whistle. Visibly diminished, the Frenchman, who was visibly limping, was escorted off the field by the medical staff.

Bradley also affected

The observation is the same for Connor Bradley. Decisive in Alexis Mac Allister’s opener, the young right-back also seemed in difficulty after the match, conspicuously dragging his leg. If the Mersey club should quickly communicate on the state of its players, a possible absence of these two elements would constitute a serious blow for the LFC, in the run-up to a crucial shock against Manchester City this Sunday in the Premier League.

For its part, Real Madrid was not spared either. Already deprived of Vinícius Jr for this meeting, the Madrid club saw Eduardo Camavinga join the infirmary. The French midfielder, hit in the thigh at the hour mark, had to give way to Dani Ceballos.
