Liverpool XI vs Leicester: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Premier League game Liverpool will remain without Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley for their Premier League clash with Leicester on Boxing Day.
“Sometimes they join [training] and then they are like, ‘I’m not completely ready to start yet.’ So, let’s wait and see but we have very good rehab personnel over here and they’ve done some good work already with Alisson [Becker] and a few others.
Asked for a new update on the pair before Sunday’s dramatic 6-3 win over Tottenham, Liverpool boss Arne Slot said: “These are the two that are still ‘in the red’, so they don’t train with us at the moment.
We thought, I thought, that [Diogo] Jota would have been back a bit earlier already and sometimes the end stage of rehab takes a bit longer.
Konate also started against Madrid and completed the full 90 minutes, though was seen limping after the full-time whistle having sustained a knee issue following a challenge from Real substitute Endrick.
