Liverpool<\/a> have been dealt another injury scare after Ibrahima Konate<\/a> was forced off playing for France on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Les Blues lost 2-0 to Croatia with Konate enduring a first-half to forget, responsible for a handball that resulted in a penalty being awarded against his side.<\/p>\n

While Mike Maignan kept the spot kick out, Konate was replaced at the break with the hosts leading 2-0 thanks to goals from Ante Budimir and Ivan Perisic.<\/p>\n

While the change was enforced, it was a disastrous first-half from the Liverpool man who was giving a dismal rating of 2\/10 by Equipe before being replaced.<\/p>\n

Dayot Upamecano was brought on for the Reds defender with France confirming on their social media accounts Konate \u2018picked up a knock\u2019 in the first period.<\/p>\n

While the extent of the knock has not been confirmed, it will spark concern for Liverpool who return to action at home to Everton in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday 2 April.<\/p>\n

Arne Slot has already seen one of his key figures return to the club early during the international break with Ryan Gravenberch leaving the Netherlands camp this week.<\/p>\n

The midfielder played in Sunday\u2019s Carabao Cup final against Newcastle<\/a> before travelling to link up with his Dutch teammates.<\/p>\n

It later emerged however the former Bayern Munich star had been carrying a knock since the weekend.<\/p>\n

Gravenberch returned to Liverpool for further assessment and missed last night\u2019s 2-2 draw with Spain where club teammate Cody Gakpo was on target.<\/p>\n

It also remains to be seen when Trent Alexander-Arnold will be available again.<\/a><\/p>\n

The England star suffered an ankle injury in the Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n

That blow cost him his place in Thomas Tuchel\u2019s first England squad and in the team that lost to Newcastle.<\/p>\n

Liverpool are 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League with just nine games remaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
