Thomas Frank faces another setback as Tottenham midfielder Pape Matar Sarr is set to miss up to seven games due to AFCON. Spurs are already dealing with a number of injury issues, making squad depth a major concern.
In defence, Destiny Udogie remains sidelined, while Radu Dragusin and Kota Takai are still recovering. Offensively, Dominic Solanke has been out longer than expected, and Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison are still some way from returning.
Sarr will represent Senegal at AFCON and has left North London ahead of their opening fixture. If Senegal reach the final, he could miss seven matches, potentially returning after Tottenham’s January clash with Borussia Dortmund.
Since the November international break, Sarr has struggled for game time at Spurs, making only two starts in seven appearances and not featuring in the 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest last weekend. While Spurs will miss him, the squad will need to rely on other players as fixtures continue to pile up.

Konaté: “Success Will Come” Despite the uncertainty, Konaté remains optimistic. Speaking in a recent interview, the French centre-back emphasized that this phase is part of a bigger journey. According to him, Liverpool are still adapting — especially with new players settling into the squad. He believes that with time, chemistry will improve and trophies will follow. 🏆 He also pointed to last season’s success as proof that the team has what it takes to bounce back stronger. 🤝 A Call for Unity More than anything, Konaté stressed the importance of togetherness between the team and its supporters. He praised the Anfield faithful and urged everyone to stay united, insisting that better days are ahead if patience is maintained. ❤️ Interestingly, his comments come at a time when his own future at the club remains uncertain, with his contract situation yet to be resolved heading into the summer. 🔍 What Happens Next? Liverpool’s season is now entering a defining period. Results must improve, injuries need to clear, and stability must return — both on and off the pitch. But if Konaté’s words are anything to go by, belief inside the squad is still very much alive. And sometimes… that’s all it takes before everything turns around. 👀🔥
