Liverpool manager Arne Slot says Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate are still being assessed after their injuries against real Madrid on Wednesday night – but Trent Alexander-Arnold is fit to start.
Bradley, who impressed while marking Kylian Mbappe in the 2-0 Anfield win, limped off late on and was replaced by Joe Gomez, while Konate was helped off the pitch at the full-time whistle by medical staff.
Attention now turns to a thrilling contest with Manchester City at Anfield, live on Sky Sports at 4pm this Sunday, in which Liverpool could go 11 points above the reigning champions if they win.
“They are still being assessed, it’s difficult to see where they are in terms of the injury,” said Slot of Konate and Bradley’s fitness.
“Let’s wait and see, but it’s never a good sign. Conor – I had to take him off. Ibou didn’t walk off the pitch as he should after such a fantastic game. He should have [gone] around and clapped to the fans. Obviously he couldn’t, so that’s not a good sign.
“It’s so close after the game yesterday night. I just came off the training pitch so I can’t tell you exactly know where they are. So we have to see where they are this weekend and after that.
But asked if Alexander-Arnold, an unused substitute against Real after being out since the November international break with a hamstring injury, is fit to start against Man City, Slot replied: “Yes, he would.”
