Liverpool's Ibrahima Konaté Ruled Out with Knee Injury

The defender's absence comes ahead of a pivotal Premier League clash against Manchester City, with reports suggesting a potential six-week recovery period.

Ibrahima Konaté sustained a knee injury late in Liverpool's 2-0 Champions League win over Real Madrid on Wednesday night.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed the defender will miss Sunday's match against Manchester City, with further assessments ongoing.
Reports indicate Konaté could be sidelined for up to six weeks, a significant blow to Liverpool's defensive stability during a packed December schedule of nine matches.
Joe Gomez or Jarell Quansah are expected to fill in for Konaté, while Trent Alexander-Arnold is fit to return after his own injury layoff.
Liverpool currently lead the Premier League by eight points and could extend their lead to 11 with a win against a struggling Manchester City side.
