Konate has been in fine form for the Reds this season
Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate is set to be named France's captain following his impressive displays this campaign.
Konate has helped propel Arne Slot's side to the top of both the Premier League and Champions League table, forming a strong defensive partnership with Virgil van Dijk.Kylian Mbappe and Aurélien Tchouaméni’s absences have boosted Konate's chances of leading his country ahead of the UEFA Nations League games.
The report claims the 25-year-old is among ‘the favourites’ to take up the captain’s armband alongside N’Golo Kante and Jules Kounde. Skipper Mbappe was omitted from France’s squad despite coach Didier Deschamps confirming that the Real Madrid forward expressed a desire to be included. Mbappe has struggled so far in Spain since joining Real Madrid after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired in July.Frace will take on Israel and Italy in the Nations League later this month.“You will know on Thursday or maybe Wednesday if I decide to send the captain to a press conference, because it is not an obligation."This will also allow, through this gathering, to make other players a little more responsible and maintain a dynamic that has been started.
