It’s unfortunate news as Liverpool Manager Jurgen Klopp became emotional as two more crucial players were forced off due to injuries during training ahead of the FA clash against Manchester United.
The Reds are expected to travel to Old Trafford without defender Ibrahima Konate, who may not recover in time from the injury that sidelined him for the previous two games.
Jürgen Klopp stated on Friday, “Ibou didn’t train today. We have to see if he can train tomorrow but it will be a tight race which we will probably lose, but we don’t know.”
However, there was more positive news concerning Bobby Clark after he was forced off during Thursday’s 6-1 Europa League win over Sparta Prague.Additionally, Ryan Gravenberch is back in contention after being sidelined since sustaining an issue during the Carabao Cup final three weeks ago.
“Bobby felt much better,” Klopp said. “That was uncomfortable, he got a knock there, a little swelling and that’s why [we had] the feeling that it might be something more serious but it’s not, so he’s fine.”
“Ryan trained today again, so he’s ready.”
Liverpool will still be without several players on their longer-term injury list, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker, Stefan Bajcetic, Ben Doak, Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota, Joel Matip, and Thiago Alcantara.
Clark, Harvey Elliott, and Gravenberch are one yellow card away from a one-match suspension in the FA Cup.It seems like Liverpool will be facing some challenges with their lineup, especially with Konate’s potential absence. However, it’s good to hear that Bobby Clark’s injury isn’t serious, and Ryan Gravenberch is back in contention. Klopp will have to navigate the match without several key players due to long-term injuries. Additionally, Clark, Elliott, and Gravenberch need to be cautious of accumulating yellow cards to avoid suspension in the FA Cup.
