Liverpool transfer target left on crutches as Reds suffer blow to plans

Liverpool transfer target Manu Kone was left on crutches after sustaining a knee injury during France's latest game at the under-21 European Championships.

Les Blues booked their place in the knockout phase of the competition after earning a comprehensive 4-1 win over Switzerland yesterday evening, ensuring they will now face Ukraine in the quarter-finals on Sunday.

One player they will not be able to call upon for this fixture is Kone, who was forced to leave the field of play in the 19th minute of last night's win after a knock to the knee. The Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder was later seen leaving the stadium on crutches, suggesting this setback could prove to be serious.
