Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté has taken a sharp swipe at Arsenal fans in response to comments made about star player Bukayo Saka’s recent injury.
Arsenal maintained pressure on Premier League leaders Liverpool with a commanding 5-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday. However, the triumph was marred by the early exit of Saka due to injury, with the winger later seen leaving on crutches.
Konaté weighed in on the situation after Arsenal fans compared Saka’s injury to his own, which he sustained last month during Liverpool’s 2-0 Champions League victory over Real Madrid.
Following Konaté’s injury, an Arsenal fan posted on social media platform X, stating: “Rivalry aside, I hope Konaté’s injury is serious.” After Saka’s setback, a Liverpool fan highlighted this comment with a caption reading, “Karma is a b****.”
