Liverpool get Konate back; Isak nears return as Gomez doubtful vs Galatasaray
Arne Slot provides injury updates: Konate is fit, Gomez is a doubt, and Isak is edging closer to a return ahead of the Galatasaray clash.
Liverpool will welcome back Ibrahima Konate for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with Galatasaray, though Joe Gomez remains a doubt for the match at Anfield. Konate sat out the 1-1 draw with Tottenham due to a hamstring issue, and while he was replaced by Gomez, the England defender is now a doubt for the visit of Galatasaray after missing training this week. “Joe [Gomez] we will decide tomorrow. He wasn't ready to train today. He had too many issues after the last game, although he had the issues after Galatasaray,” explained Slot. “[It] wasn't the plan to play against Tottenham but Ibou [Konate] felt his hamstring and [we] didn't want to risk him. He is going to try tomorrow, Joe,” added the Dutchman. open image in gallery Konate featured in the first leg but sat out the weekend's game with Spurs with a hamstring issue ( Liverpool FC via Getty Images )
