]]> https://lfcglobe.co.uk/liverpool-villa-share-points-after-entertaining-match/feed/ 0Ibrahima Konate's injury has come at perhaps the worst possible time for Liverpool, with the season having just entered its most frantic period.
The French center-back sustained a knee issue during the closing stages of Wednesday's win over Real Madrid and will reportedly be sidelined for five to six weeks.
If that turns out to be the case, Konate will miss all of Liverpool's remaining fixtures this year, which is a major blow considering the Reds play nine more times in 2024.
Next up, of course, is the blockbuster game against Manchester City, before the Reds go to Newcastle and Everton over the following week.
A third away game in succession, against Girona in the Champions League, is next up, before the Reds welcome Fulham to Anfield in the league.
Liverpool then faces Southampton at St. Mary's in the EFL Cup before a Premier League trip to Tottenham. Boxing Day sees Leicester travel to Anfield, before Arne Slot's men round out the year with a trip to West Ham on December 29.
Games Konate could miss through injury
Joe Gomez is likely to deputize for Konate in the weeks ahead provided he remains available, with Slot seemingly favoring the former Charlton defender over Jarell Quansah at this moment in time.
Gomez won't be the only change to Liverpool's team against City this Sunday, with Trent Alexander-Arnold also set to come in after he was an unused substitute against Madrid.
Conor Bradley started ahead of Alexander-Arnold in the 2-0 win but is now also seemingly facing a spell on the sidelines after coming off with a hamstring problem in the second half.
Real Madrid has reportedly directly informed Liverpool of its desire to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The Reds right-back has been the subject of transfer speculation linking him with a move to the Spanish capital in recent months, as uncertainty surrounding his long-term future at Anfield continues to linger.
Madrid was not obligated to tell Liverpool about its intention to try and sign Alexander-Arnold, but talkSPORT says the Spanish club wanted to do so out of respect for the Reds.
Alexander-Arnold will be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with Madrid from January 1, when he will have fewer than six months remaining on his contract at Anfield.
Liverpool is still hopeful of tying Alexander-Arnold down to a contract extension, but reports in Spain suggest Madrid is confident of landing the player on a free transfer next summer.
Alexander-Arnold has not had much to say about where he wants to be playing next season and beyond, and said in September that he had no intention of letting negotiations over an extension with Liverpool play out in public.
"I want to be a Liverpool player this season [as a minimum] is what I will say," the 26-year-old said. "I have been at the club 20 years now. I have signed four or five contract extensions and none of those have been played out in public - and this one won't be either."
Alexander-Arnold was an unused substitute during Liverpool's 2-0 win over Madrid in the Champions League this week; Conor Bradley started ahead of him and produced a great performance to nullify the threat of Kylian Mbappe.
Bradley was withdrawn with a hamstring injury during the closing stages of that match and Alexander-Arnold is expected to return to the line-up when Manchester City visits Merseyside this weekend.
One player who won't feature against City is Ibrahima Konate, with the French center-back set to be sidelined for five to six weeks with a knee injury he sustained against Madrid.
The FA Cup third round draw is set to take place on Monday evening, with 64 clubs eagerly awaiting to discover their next opponents.
All 20 Premier League teams, including Liverpool and the 24 Championship sides will be entering the tournament in this round, joining the remaining 20 clubs who have won their second round ties over the weekend.
Liverpool was handed a tricky third round tie against Arsenal last season but won 2-0 and reached the quarter-finals of the competition. The Reds were cruising against Manchester United before a dramatic comeback from the home side at Old Trafford.
United went on to lift the trophy against Manchester City in May and will be hoping to retain the trophy under new boss Ruben Amorim. The lowest-ranked teams still left in the competition are seventh-tier Gainsborough Trinity, Harborough Town and Kettering Town, all of whom will be hoping to secure a glamour tie against one of the top teams by winning their second round matches.

Ibrahima Konate has confirmed that he will miss Liverpool’s clash with Man City on Sunday, with both he and Conor Bradley potentially injured for a month.
Today’s Main LFC HeadlineThe Reds have been so ‘lucky’ with injuries this season!
Three key starters in Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota have been absent of late, among others, and now Konate is also sidelined.
On Friday, the Frenchman took to Instagram to confirm that he is out of Sunday’s enormous visit of City and beyond after picking up a late knee issue against Real Madrid.
“So frustrating to pick up this injury right at the end of a great game on Wednesday night,” Konate wrote.
“Now we start the recovery process but one thing I promise is I will come back and be the best I can be once again.
“Thank you for the amazing support at Anfield. Inshallah we will keep going and I will support the team every step of the way.”
Meanwhile, DaveOKCOP has even claimed that Konate could be out for five to six weeks, but it’s worth stressing that no mainstream journalists have reported it.
Today’s Liverpool FC NewsOn this day in 1998, Steven Gerrard made his Liverpool debut, coming on as a late substitute at home to Blackburn in the Premier League.
The Reds won that game 2-0, thanks to goals from Michael Owen and Paul Ince.
It was the first of 710 legendary appearances for Liverpool by Gerrard, who went on to cement himself as arguably the greatest player in the club’s history, captaining them for 12 years.
That elusive league title may have evaded him, but he inspired his side to 2005 Champions League glory and also won the UEFA Cup, two FA Cups and three League Cups.
