Liverpool will be anxiously awaiting news on the severity of Ibrahima Konate’s injury, which he sustained just before halftime against Brighton.
The 25-year-old defender was selected by Arne Slot to start alongside captain Virgil Van Dijk to counter Brighton’s strong attack.
However, despite their efforts, Brighton took the lead in the 14th minute through Ferdi Kadioglu.
Just moments before halftime, Konate went down with an apparent injury, adding to a difficult afternoon for Slot.
Liverpool journalist James Pearce reported on X that Konate received medical attention on the field, with the issue seemingly related to his shoulder or elbow.
If Konate cannot continue, he will join Diogo Jota, Alisson, Harvey Elliott, and Federico Chiesa on Liverpool’s injury list—a potential setback for Slot, who was hoping to take advantage of Arsenal’s earlier draw with Newcastle United.
