Slot confirmed that Gravenberch is “completely fit” after a hamstring complaint forced him off at half-time during the Netherlands’ win over Finland. Konate, who limped out of the 2-1 loss to Chelsea, was also “expected to train,” suggesting the Frenchman is on course to return to central defence alongside Virgil van Dijk.

All the latest injury news from Liverpool as they prepare to face Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate is not happy that Real Madrid are now focusing on signing Bayern Munich ace Dayot Upamecano.

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté has withdrawn from the France squad due to a thigh injury. The 26-year-old was named on the bench for France's 3-0 win over Azerbaijan on Thursday but did not feature, having trained separately from the squad earlier in the week at Clairefontaine.

Links to Real Madrid have surrounded Konate’s future in recent months, and that may have contributed negatively to his form. Not only that, but Liverpool could replace him with England star Marc Guehi, with Joe Cole claiming Guehi links have affected Konate’s performances.

This report sets alarm bells ringing. Liverpool fans adore Konate. His presence alongside Virgil van Dijk has often been the bedrock of stability, yet there is a growing fear that he cannot be relied upon through an entire campaign. If this injury turns out to be anything more than a minor strain, then the club simply must act.

Konate left the French national team on Saturday due to an injury and has returned to Liverpool for further assessment, as he didn't feature for France in their win against Azerbaijan on Friday and won't feature against Iceland on Monday.

Ibrahima Konate was withdrawn from the France squad ahead of Monday's game against Iceland, but is back in training with Liverpool and expected to be fit. Wataru Endo remains a doubt. "Ibou has come back to us, started the sessions again and is expected to train with us [on Friday]." Arne Slot said at his pre-match news conference.

Liverpool will make checks on the fitness of Ibrahima Konate and Ryan Gravenberch before finalising their side to face Manchester United on Sunday - but Arne Slot must axe at least three of his costly summer signings to ensure they get back to winning ways at Anfield.
