The degree of Liverpool Conor Bradley’s and Ibrahima Konate’s injuries sustained during Wednesday’s Champions League victory over Real Madrid is yet unknown.
However, Reds manager Arne Slot acknowledges that seeing the two hobble off before Sunday’s thrilling Premier League matchup versus champions Manchester City was “not a good sign.”

Bradley was substituted off with a few minutes left due to what seemed to be a hamstring issue.
In the meanwhile, Konate suffered a serious injury to his leg during a challenge that resulted in a caution for Real Madrid replacement Endrick during the closing action of the game.
He had extensive medical attention following the final whistle before hobbling away.
Slot is prepared to deal with any injury setbacks even if the two are undergoing examinations and have not yet been ruled out of the weekend visit from City, reports Echo.
“They are still being assessed so difficult to see how they are,” said the Reds boss on Thursday afternoon. “Let’s wait and see but it’s never a good sign.
“Conor we had to take him off and Ibou didn’t walk off the pitch as he should after the fantastic game he played.
“They are still being assessed, I can’t tell you exactly where they are this weekend and after that.”
