Liverpool's Defence Depleted by Matip's Knee Injury

Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez, and Jarell Quansah are potential replacements amid ongoing injury crisis.

  • Joel Matip, a key player in Liverpool's defence, has sustained a knee ligament injury that is expected to keep him out for several months.
  • Ibrahima Konate, who has been kept out of the side by Matip in recent weeks, is the likely replacement, despite struggling with injuries of his own since the start of the 2022-23 season.
  • Joe Gomez, a player used regularly at full-back these days, is also likely to be called upon more often.
  • Jarell Quansah, a 20-year-old academy graduate, is another option for Liverpool's defence.
  • Liverpool's defence has been doubly disrupted by Andy Robertson’s long-term shoulder injury and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s progression into midfield.
