Liverpool manager Arne Slot revealed Ibrahima Konate was in “a lot of pain” after being forced out of their 2-1 win over Brighton at Anfield with an apparent shoulder injury.
The centre-back suffered a heavy fall in the box during the first half of Saturday’s clash with the Seagulls and didn’t come out for the second period.
Konate received treatment from medical staff and tucked his arm into his shirt as a makeshift sling before being replaced by Joe Gomez at the interval.
With Alisson, Harvey Elliot, Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa all sidelined through injury, a new concern was the last thing Slot needed right now. He will be hoping the France international can make a swift recovery after an impressive start to the campaign.
