Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes have been given a significant boost following news that Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté is set to miss several games due to injury. The setback comes just days before Liverpool’s top-of-the-table clash against Manchester City on Sunday.
The Gunners, currently nine points behind league leaders Liverpool, are looking to make up ground after a challenging start to the season. Any disruption to their rivals’ form could prove pivotal as Mikel Arteta’s side seeks to close the gap.
Konaté sustained the injury during Liverpool’s UEFA Champions League match against Real Madrid, a game the Reds won 2-0 thanks to goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo. Despite the victory, the night was overshadowed by injuries to both Konaté and Conor Bradley.
