Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate will miss the start of the Premier League season.

Ahead of the 2022/23 Premier League season,

Liverpool

has confirmed that

Ibrahima Konate

will be out of action for a few weeks due to injury.  

An official statement from the club on the injury read:

"Ibrahima Konate is set to miss the start of the 2022-23 season after sustaining an injury during Sunday’s pre-season encounter with RC Strasbourg Alsace.

"The center-back was forced from the field in the second half of the Anfield encounter having picked up a knock.”

The 23-year-old player posted a message for Liverpool fans on his social media page. He wrote:

"Unfortunately, I have to spend some time off the pitch but it won’t be too long. In the meantime, I will be doing my best to come back even stronger and support the boys."

Konate joined Liverpool from Leipzig last summer for £36m and played in 29 matches in all competitions and won a cup double.

Liverpool will play with

Fulham

on Saturday in the first week of the Premier League.
