Liverpool hosted UEFA Champions League title holders Real Madrid at Anfield last night in a stunning affair. The Merseyside club prevailed thanks to second-half goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo to seal an emphatic 2-0 victory over Carlo Ancelotti’s Spanish side.

Arne Slot spoke to the media a day earlier than he normally would and addressed some of the injury concerns surrounding the latest clash. Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley were two of those concerns as the former limped off after full-time, and the latter withdrew early due to muscle soreness, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

When asked about the status of Bradley and Konate’s injuries, Slot had this to say:

“They are still being assessed, so it is difficult to say where they are in terms of injuries.

“Let’s wait and see but it’s never a good sign if the players… Conor, I had to take him off and Ibou didn’t leave the field as he should have after such a fantastic game that he played. He should have walked around (the field) and applauded the fans but unfortunately he couldn’t, so it’s not a good sign.

“They’re still being assessed and it’s so tight after the game last night, and I’ve just come off the training ground. So I can’t tell you exactly where they are, so we have to wait and see where they are this weekend and beyond.

Arne was then asked about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s availability for this weekend’s Manchester City clash, the Dutchman’s response was simple:

“Yes, he would.”

Waiting for, Paul Joyce confirmed that Liverpool fear Conor Bradley could miss key games in December with a hamstring injury.

Liverpool host Manchester City in a clash of the titans with the Reds currently eight points clear of their rivals in second place. You can’t scoff at an opportunity to go eleven points ahead at this stage of the season.
