Liverpool are uncertain about the fitness of centre-back Ibrahima Konate after he returned early from international duty with France.
Konate was taken off after 10 minutes in the second half during the Reds' defeat to Chelsea and, despite being deemed fit enough to join the France squad, has since withdrawn due to injury.
He flew back to Liverpool on Saturday, leaving manager Arne Slot wondering if Konate will be ready to face Manchester United in a week's time.
Maybe we should rest him anyway?
If Konate is unfit, Slot will have only two natural options at centre-back, making the Frenchman's recovery crucial.
Liverpool has issued an early update on Konate's status as they determine the extent of his injury, which comes at a time when he is struggling with form.
