Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has not ruled out dipping into the transfer market to alleviate his current injury problems but admits it is not the solution to a “four-week problem”.
Centre-back Ibrahima Konate injured a knee in the friendly against Strasbourg on Sunday which Klopp admits will see the defender out “for a while”.
“But he settled pretty quickly because of all the players, not only the Spanish speakers, and that was very helpful and he feels at home after a short period.
“He had a real impact in the first final we could have played but the work will not stop and he is in the best possible place.”
Started with Caoimh and Diogo, pretty much one was injured and one had a re-injury.
“In a few weeks’ time they will be back, but they’ve missed pre-season and that’s not cool.
Klopp did, at least, have some good news with goalkeeper Alisson Becker fit to start against Fulham in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off having missed most of pre-season with an abdominal injury sustained in the brief tour to the Far East.
