The 25-year-old France international was replaced by Joe Gomez after being forced off at half-time against Brighton at Anfield, where Liverpool came from a goal down to win 2-1.
“My injury isn’t serious thankfully. I had a scan today and it confirmed there is no break,” Konate posted on Instagram on Sunday. “I’ll be ready for the next game.”
