Liverpool’s defender Ibou Konate provided his own injury update amid Van Dijk’s ban

Liverpool’s coach Jürgen Klopp could have received good news in the last few hours, since he would be planning the team’s defense to play against Wolverhampton without the presence of Virgil Van Dijk, banned with an extra game by the FA, and the German coach could have an unexpected alternative to replace the Dutchman appearing in the last few hours.

The German coach could count on the French defender Ibou Konate, who gave his own injury update in an unexpected way after missing the last two games with Liverpool due to a minor hamstring injury. In this sense, the French defender posted on his personal Instagram account some stories where he uploaded videos of himself running and on a bike in Paris, where he would have traveled to enjoy the international break and support his national teammates.

In this sense, it is worth remembering that the player had been called up for the France national team and he had to be withdrawn from the squad due to his hamstring jury, which would have caused that Klopp would be monitoring options for the team’s defense to play against Wolverhampton next week.

He would be considered to replace Van Dijk against Wolverhampton

However, according to the latest videos posted by Konate himself, it could be expectable that Jürgen Klopp counts on the French defender to replace Virgil Van Dijk in his last game of the ban set by the FA in the last few days after his words to the referee Stuart Atwell and his official John Brooks were known in a VAR audio recorded during the game against Newcastle once the Dutchman received the red card.
