Jurgen Klopp offers positive update on Konate return timeline

Jurgen Klopp has provided an injury update on Ibrahima Konate after the Frenchman missed the 1-1 draw with Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday.

“Our injury situation is still awful, 11 players still unavailable. It’s crazy,” he said.

“We need players back. All the stories we created with the kids are wonderful, couldn’t be happier.

“But we fight for the biggest prize in football. Ibou Konate is out, we start all three others, if one goes down, we are down to two centre-backs.

“But we came through it. We played really good football in that time, fighting hard. We don’t take that for granted. One or two players back, we can change.”
