BREAKING: Liverpool facing ANOTHER major injury scare after Real Madrid

Liverpool have been handed a major injury scare to two key players against Real Madrid.

As Conor Bradley was forced off the pitch against the Spanish giants, there was another worrying injury update for Liverpool right at the end of the game.

Ibrahima Konate left the pitch limping after the final whistle and was surrounded by several members of the Liverpool medical staff.

It is not known what had caused the issue. Konate had produced a strong performance and did not seem to be struggling before the final whistle.

He did have a couple of clashes with Brazilian forward, Endrick, who had come on for the final few minutes. However the Liverpool defender seemed fine until the end of the game.

Cameras showed Konate on the floor close to tears being examined by a crowd of Liverpool's staff before footage emerged on social media of him walking off the pitch in discomfort.

The Frenchman has been phenomenal so far this season, but this will be a huge worry for the Reds.

Liverpool face Manchester City on Sunday and it remains to be seen whether Konate will be available for that game.

Slot will be hoping that's not the case.

But if Konate is ruled out it will be a huge opportunity for one of Joe Gomez or Jarell Quansah to step-up in place of the Frenchman.

Arne Slot issues Konate injury update

Speaking after the game to reporters in his post-match press conference Slot revealed he doesn't know the full extent of Konate's injury.

“It’s difficult to judge so soon after the game. I’m really hoping that both will be available to play," Slot said referring to Conor Bradley as well, who also suffered an injury concern in this game.

The comment is certainly optimistic, but Liverpool will now face an anxious wait hoping both are cleared fit for arguably one of the biggest games of the season on Sunday.
