Liverpool are in good form heading into their game against West Ham, but injuries to key players Konate and Bradley could impact their performance.
Liverpool will attempt to round off an incredible first half to the season on Sunday when they travel to West Ham United. The Reds will go into the game top of the Premier League , top of the Champions League and in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup. That is the result of a remarkable return of 22 wins, three draws and just one defeat from their opening 26 matches of the campaign across all competitions.
And what makes that all the more impressive is the fact that new head coach Arne Slot has had to operate without some important players during his opening months in charge. But as the Reds boss and his in-form side get set to sign off for 2024 with the trip to the London Stadium, the injury and suspension situation at the AXA Training Centre is clearing up, which is unlike their opponents West Ham. So ahead of the game, here is a here is a look at who will not be available for Liverpool against the Hammers... Injury: Knee Ibrahima Konate took a heavy knock to his knee in a challenge by Real Madrid substitute Endrick in the last action of the Champions League match at Anfield on November 27 and required lengthy treatment after the final whistle before limping off. The France international centre-back was then spotted on crutches the following weekend. However, it appears Konate is closing in on a return. He was spotted at the Boxing Day home win over Leicester City in good spirits and no longer wearing a knee brace. And after the game, Reds boss Slot said that while the defender will play no part against West Ham, he is getting closer to returning to training. Possible return date: Accrington Stanley (H), FA Cup , January 11 Injury: Hamstring Conor Bradley was forced off with a few minutes remaining against Real Madrid with a hamstring injury. Slot has never put a timeframe on the Northern Ireland international right-back's return but a report in his homeland suggested he could be out for six weeks, which would sideline him until January
