Arne Slot says Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley need further assessment to determine whether they will be available for Liverpool ’s crunch Premier League clash with Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday. Konate hurt his knee after a challenge from Endrick in the closing stages of Wednesday’s impressive 2-0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League . The France international needed treatment on the field after the final whistle before getting back to his feet and hobbling off. Advertisement Bradley, who produced an outstanding performance against the defending champions, was substituted late on due to tightness in his hamstring. Asked whether he knew the severity of the injuries, Slot said: “No, not yet. I know where they have pain, but how bad or how good, it’s difficult to judge so soon after a game. “This is what happens during a season. We missed Trent (Alexander-Arnold), we missed (Diogo) Jota, we missed Alisson today. Trent was on the bench but couldn’t have started. Kostas (Tsimikas) we missed too. “I’m really hoping that both of them (Konate and Bradley) will be available to play (against City) as we really want them available but if not then someone else will have to step up. “So far this season everyone that I’ve selected to start has shown up. That will also happen on Sunday if they can’t play.” GO DEEPER The Briefing: Liverpool 2-0 Madrid - Are Slot's team the best in Europe? And what now for Mbappe? Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo scored the goals but Caoimhin Kelleher also made a vital contribution as he kept out Kylian Mbappe ’s penalty when the score was 1-0. Mohamed Salah missed a spot kick for Liverpool before Gakpo’s header secured victory. Alisson is nearing a return to action after injury and Slot has previously said that the Brazilian will be recalled when fully fit. Kelleher’s commanding recent form hasn’t changed his mind. “Every decision that I have to make is a difficult one as we have so many quality players,” Slot added. “I’ve been clear about that situation. Tonight shouldn’t be about that, it should be about Caoimhin being so important for us. “It was a big moment for him. When you see Mbappe behind the ball. Probably everyone thought, like when Mo stepped up at the other end, that it was going to go in. “But he saved it. A special moment for Caoimhin. That should be the headline rather than what I was clear about a few weeks ago. Advertisement “I liked a lot of what I saw tonight. We controlled the first half but we were still a bit sloppy and lost the ball in some easy situations. “We needed to be more patient and wait for the gaps to open up. In the first seven minutes after half-time we had total dominance. They didn’t get across the halfway line and after scoring a goal like that we were flying.” (Peter Byrne/PA Images via Getty Images)
Things are really starting to cook for , a Surrey family business that makes South Asian-influenced, ready-to-eat meals sold in stores and served at a growing number of hospitals, schools and other institutions. Cooked and packaged at a Newton plant since 2019, the Khan family's butter chicken, channa masala, beef haleem and other products come frozen in bags and boxes, ready for the microwave. The company recently scored the Emerging Business trophy during hosted by BC Food & Beverage, a not-for-profit association representing the province's food and beverage processing industry. Rushd Khan operates Barakah Eats with the help of father Zafar, mother Lubna, wife Arshiya and a dozen employees. "We're very proud of the award, which reinforces our mission since we've launched this business as an extension of our family business including the restaurant ( , located near the KPU Surrey campus in Newton)," Rushd said. "It (the award) will help with the growth of our businesses, for sure." In a competitive frozen-food market, key for Barakah Eats products is halal certification — food that adheres to Islamic dietary laws and regulations. "Some hospitals, like Surrey Memorial, Langley and BC Children's Hospital just this month, they started using some of our products for patient care because they're halal-certified," Rushd explained. "That has been a gap among hospital patients, who can now ask for halal-certified meals. The hospitals noticed that there was a lot of food waste, because some people couldn't eat the food." Barakah Eats products have been tasted at in recent summers and will be featured at the new Halal Expo Vancouver, planned Feb. 7-8 at Cloverdale Agriplex (details on ). In Arabic, the company name means "blessings," a word embraced by the Khan family. "I never thought it would get to this, with people all over the place eating our food. It's unbelievable," patriarch Zafar Khan said. "Food is my passion, you know, so we have a tandoor in my backyard when we built our house, where we make naan," he added. "I went to back to Pakistan to learn how to make it, and at that time we didn't have a restaurant or anything yet." Looking ahead, the Khans aim to grow the Barakah Eats name in the food manufacturing market. "We see ourselves becoming more of a national company, hopefully by next year," Rushd said. "Right now our business is predominantly in B.C. We do some business outside of B.C. with our vegetarian products, but the meat license with CFIA certification (Canadian Food Inspection Agency), that's our target right now. Once we get over that hump, that opens up a lot of doors for us to start exporting across Canada and then outside of Canada as well. We already have a HACCP-certified facility." BC Food & Beverage's 2024 Rise Awards attracted 400 people to Anvil Centre in New Westminster on Nov. 29, a night when "exceptional leaders, innovators and brands" were recognized in 16 categories. “These awards showcase the talent, dedication and innovation that define B.C.’s food and beverage industry,” James Donaldson, CEO of BC Food & Beverage, raved in a .
