Liverpool boss Slot provides Konate injury update

Liverpool completed an impressive comeback in the second-half of the game against Brighton after the Seagulls concluded the first period with a one-goal advantage. That said, it was not all good news for the Reds, as they look to have suffered a major injury blow in defense.
France international Ibrahima Konate was substituted at the end of the first half after picking up an injury to his arm. Konate left the pitch visibly distressed as went into the dugout using his kit as a makeshift sling, with Joe Gomez coming on to replace him.
Arne Slot has spoken on the fitness conditions of the defender post-match. "We don't know yet," the Dutchman said on Konate. "He had a lot of pain, but he hasn't been to the hospital yet - and maybe it is not even necessary to go to the hospital, I don't know."
"It is always difficult to judge an injury in the first hour or first 10 minutes after it happens," Slot said, as Konate awaits medical examinations to determine the extent of his injury. "Let's hope he can be with us as soon as possible because he had a big impact on our season until now:" On substitute Gomez, Slot added: "But Joe deserved the trust I gave him today because he played outstanding in the second half."
