According to The Athletic, Liverpool are convinced that Konate’s injury is only a minor injury and hope that he can catch up with Manchester United.
According to official news from the French team, Konate withdrew from the French team due to a thigh injury and returned to Liverpool. The central defender did not play in the game against Azerbaijan. He suffered an injury when Liverpool faced Chelsea on October 4.
Liverpool is convinced that Konate only suffered a minor injury. The player will return to Merseyside for evaluation and treatment. Liverpool hopes that he can catch up with the Premier League match against Manchester United on October 19.
Konate's injury is the latest blow to Liverpool's defense, after Leoni suffered a season-ending ligament injury. If Konate misses next weekend's game, Van Dijk and Gomez will be Liverpool's only two healthy central defender candidates.
