Liverpool are closely monitoring the injuries sustained by Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate during their 2-0 victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Both defenders picked up knocks late in the game, and head coach Arne Slot admitted on Thursday afternoon that their availability for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Manchester City remains uncertain.
On a positive note, Trent Alexander-Arnold is fit and ready to start against Pep Guardiola’s side.
The vice-captain was named on the bench for the Real Madrid match but did not feature.
Providing an update on Bradley and Konate, Slot said: “They are still being assessed so it’s difficult to say where they are in terms of the injuries.
“Let’s wait and see but it is never a good sign if players… Conor, I had to take him off and Ibou didn’t walk off the pitch as he should have after such a fantastic game that he played.
“He should have made a round [of the pitch] and clapped the fans but unfortunately he couldn’t so that’s not a good sign.
“They are still being assessed and it is so close after the game yesterday night, and I just came off the training pitch.
“So, I can’t tell you exactly where they are, so we have to wait and see where they are this weekend and after that.”
On whether Alexander-Arnold would be fit enough to start, Slot replied: “Yes, he would.”
