Ibrahima Konate News: Still absent

Konate (personal) is out for Wednesday's match against Qarabag, according to manager Arne Slot. "Of course, I spoke to him and if you know why he is not here, of course, we both know that he is having a hard time. I'm hoping and expecting him back soon, but also not for tomorrow evening's game."

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.
