Two Liverpool stars injured ahead of Man Utd clash

Liverpool have two key players injured ahead of the Premier League clash against Manchester United at Anfield this weekend.

The Reds were in a poor run before the international break with three straight losses. They will be aiming to return to winning ways against United.

Ahead of the derby, the club have suffered an untimely setback with two players on the sidelines. Ibrahima Konate is nursing a quad problem.

Meanwhile, Ryan Gravenberch is the latest doubt for the encounter after suffering a minor hamstring injury on international duty recently.

Both players will be assessed before the weekend's fixture. The news could be a timely boost for United, who have not won at Anfield since 2016.

They have been handed a brilliant opportunity to end the extended winless run with the unfortunate double injury setback for Arne Slot's side.

Even if they are fit, United should fancy their chances, given the Reds have been defensive vulnerable right from the first game of the season.
