Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that defender Ibrahima Konate is set to return after almost a month out
Konate last played in the FA Cup fourth-round loss to Brighton on January 29. Since then he has been sidelined through injury, with Liverpool conceding five goals against Champions League rivals Real Madrid in his absence.
The return of the former RB Leipzig star will be a welcome sight for fans as the Merseysiders look to climb back into the top four.
“Ibou [Konate] is near but only two sessions after a long injury," Klopp said. "You can see when the boys come on they aren't at their best yet. We have to make changes and we will. It's not that you come back from a long injury and it clicks back to normal, Virgil [van Dijk] too.
“We need to find some consistency in the way we play. It cannot be all about emotions... We just have to start believing in ourselves again and bring our quality on the pitch.
“There are a lot of good things but we are not stable yet. We have to work on that stability.”
