Real madrid vs liverpool as the red faces more injury
Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp have been dealt another blow at a time when the club can barely afford it.
Defender Ibrahima Konaté has been out for around two weeks with a hamstring problem he picked up in the 2-1 loss to Brighton and Hove Albion in the FA Cup fourth round.
Konaté’s injury comes at a time when Liverpool have a series of games on the horizon. The Frenchman is expected to miss games against Wolves and Newcastle, the Merseyside derby with Everton and possibly the Champions League Round of 16 first leg against Real Madrid.
If he misses the final of these games against Real Madrid, it would be a very big blow for Klopp given that Virgil van Dijk is also around two weeks away from returning from his own injury. Leave Joël Matip, Joe Gomez and Nat Phillips as Klopp’s only healthy centre-backs, with the latter still able to leave before the end of the January spell. Rhys Williams has been recalled on loan but is unlikely to start against Real Madrid.
So what do Liverpool look like ahead of Real Madrid’s meeting at Anfield on 21 February, given the current spate of injuries?
Assuming no further setbacks, Alisson will be in goal, supported by Trent Alexander-Arnold on one side and Andy Robertson on the other. In the middle we could see Gomez and Matip leave, but hopefully Van Dijk is back, even if Konaté is not yet in shape.
