Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been handed an injury boost ahead of the return of the Premier League, with the Reds set to take on Wolves at Molineux on Saturday
Ibrahima Konate is back in training for Liverpool – giving manager Jurgen Klopp a solution to another defensive headache this weekend.
âThe Reds boss was down to two fit senior centre halves before the international break, with Konate sidelined through injury and Virgil van Dijk suspended, and Trent Alexander-Arnold missed England duty with a hamstring strain.
In the absence of Liverpool ‘s first choice central defensive partnership, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip performed admirably in the victory over Aston Villa which moved Liverpool into third in the Premier League.
Konate came through training this week unscathed after returning from the thigh injury he sustained in mid-August, offering the manager the chance to use Gomez at right back in Alexander-Arnold’s absence.
