The Frenchman appeared to pick up the ailment early in the second half, with his manager noting Konate was visibly limping. Slot said he was planning on making the eventual switch regardless of Konate’s condition. The Dutchman replaced his out-and-out centre-back with midfielder Curtis Jones, as Gravenberch would allow better quality on the ball from deep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Slot said: \u201cI don\u2019t know if it is a big injury, but what I do know is he limped a little bit and when I asked him he said he felt his quad a little bit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen, for me, all alarm bells go off because in another sprint you never know if that is going to go good.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was also already a substitution I had in mind, maybe for a few minutes or a little bit later, because the right centre-back had a lot of ball possession and we needed to create from that position. We all know Ryan [Gravenberch] is quite good in that.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt might be OK that he went off early enough but it was clear I had to take him off because he was limping.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
