Liverpool are worried about the fitness of centre-back Ibrahima Konate after he returned early from international duty.
Konate was taken off after 10 minutes of the second half during the Reds' defeat to Chelsea and was deemed fit enough to join the France squad. However, he has since withdrawn from national team selection and flew back to Liverpool on Saturday.
Manager Arne Slot is waiting to determine the extent of Konate's injury, which could leave him with only two natural centre-back options for the upcoming match against Manchester United.
Maybe we should rest him anyway?
Konate's injury comes at a time when he is struggling for form, making his recovery an important topic for the team.
Liverpool has issued an early update on Konate's fitness, providing some indication of whether he will be ready to play against Manchester United.
