Liverpool resumes its season with one of the biggest fixtures in any season on Sunday, as Manchester United visits Anfield. Liverpool is, of course, the overwhelming favorite to win the game, but Arne Slot has a few injury concerns heading into the clash that could hand United encouragement.



We obviously didn’t take any risks with that.” Gravenberch will continue to be assessed back at Liverpool this week before a decision is taken on his involvement against United. Another player whose fitness is a concern is Ibrahima Konate, who did not play for France against Azerbaijan last week before returning to Merseyside ahead of Les Bleus' 2-2 draw with Iceland on Monday.

Despite that, he linked up with his France teammates, but played no part in either game, and France's medical team corroborated Slot's suspicion that the player is nursing a quadricep injury on his right leg. “Asking him to come from Europe again would be a burden for him, so I thought that the current number would be enough.” One player who is definitely out of the game against United is Giovanni Leoni, who is set to miss the remainder of the season with a serious knee injury.
