Liverpool anxious before the match with Manchester United, two starters in doubt for Arne Slot

Liverpool face serious concerns ahead of the weekend's super challenge against Manchester United, which will take place on Sunday at Anfield, as part of the eighth week of the Premier League.
Coach Arne Slot, who is looking to end a three-game losing streak, could lose two of his most important players: Ibrahima Konaté and Ryan Gravenberch.
French defender Konaté was forced off the field in the 56th minute of the match against Chelsea due to a muscle problem in his thigh.
Although he was later called up by the French national team, he did not play a single minute and returned to Liverpool after physical concerns.
If he does not recover in time, Slot is expected to activate Joe Gomez alongside Van Dijk, as Giovanni Leoni is out for the remainder of the season.
In midfield, Gravenberch's situation is also causing alarm. The 23-year-old felt muscle pain during the Netherlands' last match against Finland and was substituted at half-time.
According to coach Ronald Koeman, it is a minor concern, but one that requires attention.
If he is absent, Curtis Jones or Wataru Endo could take his place in the starting lineup.
Liverpool seeks a return to victory in a match of great importance, both for morale and for the defense of the championship title.
