Full-back Bradley was substituted late in Liverpool’s 2-0 Champions League victory on Wednesday after sustaining an injury, while Konate was seen limping as the match concluded.
With a crucial clash against Premier League title contenders Manchester City approaching on Sunday, the fitness of both Konate and Bradley has raised concerns for the Reds. Although Slot hasn’t ruled them out for the upcoming match, his comments suggested he’s not feeling hopeful.
“They’re still being assessed, so it’s hard to say where they stand,” Slot shared in a press conference. “We’ll have to wait and see, but it’s never a good sign when players—like Conor, who I had to take off, and Ibou, who didn’t walk off the pitch as he should have after such a strong performance—can’t do that. He should have taken a lap and acknowledged the fans, but unfortunately, he couldn’t. So that’s not a good sign. They’re still being evaluated, but it’s so soon after the game, and I just came off the training pitch, so I can’t give you an update yet.”
For the City match, Slot could opt to start Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back, confirming that he is fit to play on Sunday. The England international made a return to the bench against Madrid after recovering from a hamstring issue.
Slot’s squad is currently eight points ahead of the defending Premier League champions, and a victory over Pep Guardiola’s side could extend their lead even further, with City having lost five and drawn one of their last six games.
