Probably seriously injured
Automatically saved draft
Runners-up Red Bull Salzburg will most likely have to do without their top striker Karim Konate for some time. The 20-year-old from the Ivory Coast suffered a potentially serious knee injury during Salzburg's 5-0 defeat in the Champions League at Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday.
"There is a suspicion of a cruciate ligament rupture," confirmed Salzburg coach Pepijn Lijnders after the game. "That makes me sad and I'm really disappointed."
Konate went down in the 13th minute through no fault of his own and had to leave the pitch in a heap. "It doesn't look good," said Lijnders.
Detailed examinations in Salzburg
According to a club spokesman, further examinations will be carried out in Salzburg on Wednesday. Only after viewing the images will it be possible to say anything more concrete.
If the fears prove to be true, the season could already be over for last season's Bundesliga top scorer.
