After a collision with Real Madrid attacker Endrick, Konate took a knock in the last seconds of Liverpool’s 2-0 Champions League victory.
The French international’s performance has been crucial to Arne Slot’s Liverpool’s incredible start as manager.
With an eight-point lead in the Premier League and five consecutive Champions League victories, Liverpool seems unstoppable.

Ever since joining the team at halftime of the season opener against Ipswich, Konate has started every match in the Premier League and Champions League.
Liverpool have not confirmed the exact duration of the 25-year-old’s injury, although estimates place his absence at six weeks.
Getting hurt at the end of Wednesday night’s fantastic game was so disheartening, Konate posted on Instagram.
We are now beginning the healing process, but I assure you that I will return and perform to the best of my ability. Your incredible support at Anfield is much appreciated.
If Quansah is unable to play, England international Joe Gomez will likely step in as a substitute for Konate.
