If it means more Joe Gomez probably not good, if it forces Liverpool to buy someone in January might help them to the title.

I'm a huge fan of Matip, as well as a big fan of Konate, but I would say its a negative.
I really like Matip, I'm always disappointed with how fragile he is though, Matip at his best is easily this team's 2nd best CB option and since his injury VVD has lost a step and cant cover as well as he used to. Although I think he's bounced back admirably.
Gomez is a coin toss. He can either be solid or a complete liability depending on the day. Look at the last match and he was essentially a lost player on the pitch.
Maybe they buy someone for cover, I dont know, I also dont know who is out there worth buying.
But unfortunately they may have to move on from Matip. It depends, not everyone bounces back from ACL injuries like VVD.
