Liverpool boss Arne Slot has shared encouraging news about Ryan Gravenberch and Ibrahima Konaté, easing fans’ concerns ahead of this weekend’s Premier League showdown against Manchester United at Anfield.
After suffering consecutive defeats to Crystal Palace and Chelsea, the Reds are eager to bounce back — and the return of two key players could not come at a better time.
🔴 Ryan Gravenberch, who was withdrawn at halftime during the Netherlands’ clash with Finland due to a hamstring issue, has now been declared fully fit. Slot confirmed during his Friday press conference:
> “Ryan is completely fit. We still have two training sessions left, but as of now, he’s ready to go.”
⚡ Meanwhile, Ibrahima Konaté, who picked up a quadriceps problem while on international duty with France, has rejoined team training and is expected to be available for selection.
> “Ibou is back with us, he’s started training again and should be involved today,” Slot added.
Liverpool remain without Alisson Becker, who is recovering from a hamstring injury sustained in the Champions League defeat to Galatasaray and is expected to return by mid-November. Defender Giovanni Leoni also continues his long-term recovery.
With nearly a full squad at his disposal, Slot will be confident heading into a fixture that Manchester United haven’t won at Anfield since 2016 — setting the stage for a fiery encounter on Sunday.
🔥 All eyes now turn to Merseyside — will Liverpool’s returning stars inspire redemption or will United finally break their Anfield curse?
