Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate says he will now “start the recovery process” after picking up a “frustrating” injury against Real Madrid.

The 25-year-old’s absence is a blow for Reds boss Arne Slot with his side hosting title rivals Manchester City on Sunday.

There has been no clarification from the club on the timescale Konate could be missing for but on Friday the centre-back expressed his disappointment on social media.

“So frustrating to pick up this injury right at the end of a great game on Wednesday night,” he said on Instagram. “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.”

Konate has started every Premier League and Champions League match since replacing 21-year-old Jarell Quansah at half-time of the season opener at Ipswich.
