Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk posts wordless reaction after Ibrahima Konate confirms injury

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has confirmed that he has suffered an injury.

The Reds have been on cloud nine since Arne Slot🔥 arrived in the summer. Their performances have been great and most results have gone their way since the start of the season.

Liverpool are on top of both, the Premier League and the Champions League🧔 tables, and they had nothing to worry about until now.

💜But, news emerged on Friday that Konate, who has had a great campaign so far, has suffered an injury that will keep him out of action for a few weeks.

Konate started and played the full 90 minutes in Liverpool’s๊ brilliant win over Real Madrid in the Champions League.

The Frenchman has had a very good season. He has played every single game for the Reds in the Premier League and Europe and has performed really well.

𝄹The centre-half was spotted in a lot of pain after the game against Real Madrid. He struggled to walk off the pitch and that worried Liverpool fans.

On Friday, Konate🍒 confirmed on Instagram that he has suffered an injury. He will be sidelined for a few weeks now, and that is a huge blow for the Merseysiders ahead of the busy schedule coming up.

⛄A number of Liverpool players showed their love and support for Konate on Instagram.

Skipper Virgil van Dijk𒉰, Conor Bradley, Luis Diaz and Ryan Gravenberch were among those who replied with heart emojis under his post as he began his recovery.

Liverpool have another injury problem

൲Konate’s injury is terrible news for everyone associated with Liverpool, but he isn’t the only one who is set to be sidelined.

In the win over Real Madrid, Conor Bradley♛ suffered a hamstring injury too, and he had to be replaced in the final few minutes of the game.

ꦗ revealed after the clash that Bradley is expected to be ruled out of the game against Manchester City on Sunday and there are fears at Liverpool that he could miss other key fixtures in December.

That is a real shame as 🍃Bradley earned a lot of praise for his performance against Real Madrid🌃. He picked up an assist and contained Kylian Mbappe without too much trouble.

𓄧Thankfully for Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnold is back fit, and he is ready to start against Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.
