‘Not a good sign’ – Liverpool duo now doubtful for Man City clash as Slot delivers worrying update

Liverpool maintained their perfect record in the Champions League this season with a 2-0 victory over Real Madrid on Wednesday night.

They created multiple chances in either half and dominated Madrid for the most of the match. Thibaut Courtois held them in the first half, but Alexis Mac Allister gave the Reds the lead in the second half with a deft finish past the Belgian.

They had two injury worries during the game, but generally it was a good night. Late in the game, young right-back Conor Bradley, who stepped in at right-back and played admirably, appeared to have suffered a hamstring injury.

Speaking prior to the Manchester City match, Arne Slot stated that the two had been diagnosed with injuries and will undergo additional evaluation.

Slot stated:

“It’s hard to tell where they stand in terms of the injury; they are still being evaluated.”

Players leaving is never a positive omen, so let’s wait and see. Ibou did not leave the field as he should have after such a fantastic game, and Conor I had to leave.

“He should have made a round and clapped the fans but unfortunately he could not so that’s not a good sign.”
