Devastating Blow for Liverpool: Star Defender Ruled Out with Injury Ahead of Crucial Manchester City Clash

Konate has been a regular starter in every Premier League and Champions League match since coming on for Jarell Quansah at half-time during the season opener at Ipswich.

Liverpool have not disclosed how long the 25-year-old will be sidelined, but reports suggest he could miss up to six weeks.

"So frustrating to pick up this injury right at the end of a great game on Wednesday night," Konate wrote on Instagram.

"Now we start the recovery process but one thing I promise is I will come back and be the best I can be once again. Thank you for the amazing support at Anfield."
