The centre-back was replaced by Curtis Jones just 10 minutes into the second half, with Slot confirming that Konate had suffered a potential quad injury."I don't know if it's a big injury, but I do know that he limped," said Slot. "And I asked him, and he said: 'I feel my quad a little bit'."But for me all alarm bells go off because in another sprint then you never know if that is going to go good, so it was already a substitution I had in mind for maybe a little bit later, because the right centre-back has a lot of ball possession, and we all know that Ryan (Gravenberch) is good in there."So it might be okay and he went off early enough, but it was clear that I had to take him off because he was limping."Liverpool may also have concerns about Andy Robertson's fitness after the defeat to Chelsea.
