Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has travelled back to France due to family matters and is uncertain for tomorrow's crucial Champions League encounter with Marseille, according to reports. The centre-half was missing from the Reds' public training session at their Kirkby base, though it is unclear whether he will rejoin the squad in France ahead of tomorrow's fixture.
Manager [Arne Slot](https://www.express.co.uk/latest/arne-slot) is under mounting scrutiny following their 1-1 stalemate with Burnley, which marked the first occasion since 1981 that they have failed to defeat any of the Premier League's promoted sides.
