Arne Slot could not have concerned one, but two fresh injuries to perhaps worse the worst week on the field of his successful regime as head coach of Liverpool.
The fear of losing Chelsea in stopping time-the third defeat of the Reds in eight days-werd reinforced by the sight of Andy Robertson who after full-time the field at Stamford Bridge Hankte.
The Scottish left back was not the only defender who ship some damage in West London, with the LFC head coach afterwards revealing that he was forced to subtract Ibrahima Konate for only 10 minutes in the second half due to a quad problem.
Slot gives an update after the match injury to Konate
Slot went out on the body blowing to the French center-back in his press conference after the match, although he seemed hopeful that the 26-year-old will not be hit too hard.
Said the Liverpool -Baas (via Sky Sports): “I don’t know if it is a big injury. He limp a bit. I asked him and he felt his quad.
“It was a replacement that I already had in mind, because the right middle behind had a lot of ball and we had to create from that position. Ryan [Gravenberch] Is pretty good at that. It might be okay that he left early enough. ‘
Lock can be left very briefly if Konate has a permanent injury
It seemed surprising that Slot three of its start would withdraw four from the 56th minute, but it was a tough day at the office for Conor Bradley and Milos Kerkez, and it turned out that Konate had a injury problems.
The Dutchman may have acted quickly enough to reduce the potential damage to Liverpool’s number 5, no doubt aware that he is already up to three center backs after Giovanni Leoni had torn his ACL.
The international break may come at an ideal moment for the Reds while they wait to see how bad Konate and Robertson are influenced by the strokes they have sent at Stamford Bridge, which should become clear in the coming days.
Although some of the Frenchman’s recent versions have a lot to be desired, Slot can no longer afford to be without him, given the lack of defensive depth in the current team.
Fingers crossed for good news about the former RB Leipzig -man. Good news has been in very short stock for Liverpool last week, so they are certainly due some bit…
