Liverpool need to sack Arne Slot: Reluctant Reds must bite the bullet after Wolves debacle as Dutchman proves he's unable to salvage nightmare season

Quiet in loss Konate registered one tackle (one won) and three clearances in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to Wolverhampton.

Impact Konate had a quiet showing during Tuesday's loss. Liverpool largely controlled the match and when Wolves attacked, Konate wasn't able to do enough to shut it down. It's been a disappointing season, but Konate has improved in the back half and is back to forming a generally strong partnership with Virgil van Dijk.

Nets rare goal Konate scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 4-1 win over Newcastle United.

Impact Konate was back in the squad after two weeks away from the team due to the passing of his father, and he returned with a goal. It was an emotional moment for the center-back, who had a brilliant match on the whole. Konate should be a big part of the starting XI now that he's back with the squad.

Impact Konate missed the last three games due to personal reasons but the Frenchman is expected to train on Friday and will be an option for Saturday's clash against the Mapgies. Konate has been an undisputed starter for Liverpool this season and should regain that role alongside Virgil van Dijk on Saturday. The center-back contributed 31 tackles, 12 interceptions and 129 clearances in 22 Premier League appearances this season to help the reds secure five clean sheets.

Impact Konate missed the last three games following his father's passing, but the staff hopes and expects him to be back available for Saturday's clash against Newcastle United. The Frenchman has been an undisputed starter in the backline for Liverpool and will likely start in the backline if deemed ready for the game. If he has to miss another game and Joe Gomez (undisclosed) remains out as well, Ryan Gravenberch would have to play out of position again and start alongside Virgil van Dijk in central defense.

Impact Konate is still with his family and in France following the passing of his father, with the club giving him plenty of time to recover from the tragic situation. This will leave him questionable heading into Saturday's match against Newcastle, needing to return and train in the next few days, although he will not be rushed.

Not in team sheet Konate (personal) is out for Saturday's match against Bournemouth.

Impact Konate is still not with his club after some personal issues that forced him to return to France, yet to be back in Liverpool after the trip home. That said, he is likely to eye a return in the next week as they head into another UCL matchday, taking back his starting spot from Joe Gomez once fit.

Impact Konate lost his father in recent days and missed the Champions League clash against Marseille on Wednesday for that reason. The center-back announced that a tribute will be paid to his father on Friday at noon in France, which suggests he will likely miss Saturday's clash against Bournemouth as well. Konate has been an undisputed starter in the backline for Liverpool, and his probable absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Joe Gomez likely starting again in his place.

Misses squad list Konate (personal) is not in the squad list for Wednesday's match against Marseille.

Impact Konate is not with his club following his return to France for a family matter, unable to play despite the club traveling to France to face Marseille. This is a major loss for the club, with the defender only missing one start all season, this coming in an FA Cup match. That said, a change will be made, with Joe Gomez a likely replacement until Konate is fit again.
