Press conferenceInjury news: Updates on Joe Gomez, Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate from Arne Slot

Gomez suffered a hamstring issue during Liverpool’s 5-0 win at West Ham United last weekend and Arne Slot has provided an update on his condition, as well the fitness of Bradley and Konate, who have been sidelined due to injury since late November.

During Friday morning’s press conference to preview Sunday’s meeting with Manchester United at Anfield, Slot said: “Joe is of course not in a good place when it comes to his injury. He is out for a few weeks, that’s for sure.

“Conor and Ibou will train with us today for the first time. So, [I am] curious and interested to see where they exactly are, of course. They have worked hard to come back to the team but the next step is always, ‘How do you handle team sessions?’ They will train with us today, the two of them.”

Slot also reported no further concerns over player availability ahead of the clash with United.

The head coach added: “Of course they still have to come in but we trained yesterday and I assume everybody is fit, although we are in a period of time where some people get sick as well. But I have heard nothing about that yet.

“So, hopefully everybody is ready – except for Joe Gomez – to be part of the game on Sunday.”
