A concerning injury update has emerged regarding an “outstanding” Liverpool player on international duty, having missed his latest training session. Konate’s France teammate William Saliba provided an update on his colleague on Wednesday, telling reporters that his injury issue may only be minor: “He hasn’t been training because he has some minor injuries.

The Reds desperately need him back to his fittest and best after the internationals, with Virgil van Dijk heaping praise on his ability last season: “He is a fantastic player who still can be better. As you saw, he is important with the goal, he is defensively solid, a bit unlucky with the goal we conceded, but obviously the qualities he has are outstanding in my opinion.

He is learning, growing, getting better and looking after himself much better in order to be ready every three days as that’s what asked.” Hopefully, Konate’s absence is only short-term, meaning he is back for Liverpool’s crucial Premier League clash with Manchester United at Anfield a week on Sunday, starting the game and returning to his best at the same time. He is also a main contributor for This Is Anfield, one of the world's biggest Reds-related sites, where he writes features and news, and covers matchday content.
