Liverpool trained on Monday ahead of their clash with Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League
Ibrahima Konate has handed Liverpool an injury boost after taking part in open training ahead of the Reds’ Champions League clash with Bayer Leverkusen. The France international was in considerable pain as he was replaced at half-time with a wrist injury in their 2-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday. However, scans revealed that the centre-back had avoided serious injury after he had his left arm accidentally trod on by team-mate Virgil van Dijk.
'The good thing is in that position I have two very good options as well in Jarell Quansah and Joe Gomez,” he said. “And I took Jarell off five minutes before the end against Brighton because for 20 minutes he was already stretching. “I could feel and see he was tired which is not strange because he hasn't played so much. And then with 45 minutes to go I felt I had to bring someone in who is fitter than Jarell is.
