Arne Slot clarifies Ibrahima Konate stance after Liverpool star's worrying claim Arne Slot claims Liverpool are carefully managing Ibrahima Konate’s load after the France defender said he is playing with pain in his knee.
He says he still has discomfort in his knee and Slot says the club are trying to give him breaks by playing Jarell Quansah in his place.
Slot says this is normal when a player comes back after a long absence and that he will soon be able to play three times a week.
That, in our opinion, is a certain risk, so we always try to manage that and I think he now comes to a moment where he would be able to play three times a week.”.
Slot also ruled Curtis Jones out of Saturday’s clash with Ipswich at Anfield with the knee injury he sustained against Lille on Tuesday.
