Starting against Leverkusen Konate (arm) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's clash with Leverkusen.
Impact Konate came off in major pain during a 2-1 win over Brighton at the weekend, but evidently it was a minor concern. The defender is now back in the starting XI, and should be a rock solid partner for Virgil van Dijk in the back line. Konate has truly established himself as the top choice when fit.

Impact Konate left Saturday's win over Brighton due to an injury, but the center-back will be available for Tuesday's marquee matchup against the reigning Bundesliga champions. If deemed healthy enough, Konate should start at center-back, as he's been in the XI in all but one of his 13 appearances this season between the Premier League and the Champions League.

Set for further assessment Konate (undisclosed) is set for further assessment following his early exit Saturday against Brighton, according to manager Arne Slot. "We don't know yet. He had a lot of pain, but...
Impact Konate is set to receive further scans and testing on the knock he received Saturday to reveal the true extent of his problems. The club will hope for the best, as he is a major player to the club, only missing one start all season. Joe Gomez replaced him and will likely continue in his spot if he misses more time, with Jarell Quansah also being an option.

Off at half Konate was forced off the field due to injury in the 46th minute of Saturday's match against Brighton.
Impact Konate looks to have been feeling some discomfort in the first half of Saturday's tilt, leading to his eventual substitution following halftime. That said, the club should give more on his situation after the match, with the whole club looking for only minor issues. He is a regular starter so this could be a significant loss, with Joe Gomez filling his spot Saturday.

First Premier League goal Konate scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 63rd minute.
Impact Konate rose above the pack just before halftime Saturday to head home a corner and net his first ever Premier League goal. The goal opened the scoring for Liverpool, and they would go on to defeat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2 - 1. In addition to his goal, the veteran center back made two interceptions, one clearance and one block. After coming off the bench during Liverpool's first Premier League match of the season, Konate has now started in six successive matches (all competitions).

Credited with assist in win Konate assisted once to go on the lone chance he created in Saturday's 3-0 win against AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 60th minute while adding six...
Impact Konate was credited with the first assist of the match since one of his trademark long balls was controlled by Luis Diaz, and while the Colombian found the back of the net with a shot into the open goal, it's worth noting that Kepa Arrizabalaga had significant responsibility in the outcome of the play -- his rushing out of the box left a lot to be desired and facilitated Diaz's goal. Konate should continue to earn most of his value through defensive stats, though, and not via attacking sequences.

First goal of the season in win Konate scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Tuesday's 3-1 victory over AC Milan. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 80th minute.
Impact Konate scored the first goal for Liverpool as they sparked their comeback with his 23rd-minute goal. He found space in the box and headed home Trent Alexander-Arnold'sfree-kick delivery. This was only his fourth shot and second shot on target of the season.
SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Falls out of favor Konate made 22 appearances (17 starts) during the Premier League.
Impact Konate was the presumptive starter, especially once Joel Matip went down for the season with a knee injury. While Konate did see plenty of minutes he never made the starting job his own as Jarell Quansah surprisingly took over a partnership with Virgil van Dijk. The talent is clearly there for Konate, it's just a matter of earning the starting job.

Goes 90 with France Konate (groin) started and went the full 90 in Tuesday's friendly with France against Chile.
Impact Konate was on the bench last week and was healthy enough to go 90 Tuesday, so he should be a factor to start for Liverpool again after the break. Jarell Quansah has stepped into more time due to Konate's inability to stay healthy and it wouldn't be surprising to see him start again out of the break to give Konate a bit more rest coming off this start.

Not likely to face Man United Konate (groin) is not expected to be available to face Manchester United in the FA Cup quarterfinals on Sunday, manager Jurgen Klopp told media during Friday's pre-match press conf...
Impact Konate was expected to be available for this clash just before the international break. However, his recovery process hasn't gone as expected, and while he hasn't been ultimately ruled out, all signs point to him being sidelined once again. Konate has missed Liverpool's last two games in all competitions, and if he's ruled out once again, then Jarell Quansah and Joe Gomez could be in line for more playing time.

Set for return in FA Cup Konate (groin) is set to make a return against Manchester United in the FA Cup on Sunday, as manager Jurgen Klopp told reporters, "No, no. Ibou has a chance for United. A good chan...
Impact Konate was held out for the club's pivotal match against Manchester City on Sunday due to a groin issue after receiving scans on the injury ahead of the contest. However, he appears to only be carrying a minor problem, as he is now set to return this weekend. He will now look to get in training ahead of the match, confirming his status as available for the FA Cup tilt. If this is the case, he will hope to earn the start in his return, having started in 19 of his 24 contests this season when available.

Out of action Sunday Konate (groin) is not in the squad to face Manchester City on Sunday.
Impact Konate has been ruled out after leaving mid week against Sparta Prague with the groin injury. Jarell Quansah enters the starting XI in Konate absence.

Set for scan Konate (groin) will undergo a scan before Sunday's clash with Manchester City, according to manager Jurgen Klopp."Ibou was rather positive last night, he thought he made the right...
Impact Konate is a doubt for Sunday's clash though if the scan comes back positively he could still be in contention for the starting XI. If the center-back is unavailable for Sunday's match it would likely be Joe Gomez who steps into the center of the backline alongside Virgil van Dijk.

Uncertain for weekend Konate was a precautionary substitution during Liverpool's 5-1 win over Sparta Prauge, according to manager Jurgen Klopp."Ibou said to me 'if I do another sprint, it could be set'....
Impact Konate may have avoided a serious muscular injury but it still remains to be seen if he will be fit on short rest of a Sunday clash with Manchester City. If he can't go Sunday it would likely be Joe Gomez who slides into central defense alongside Virgil van Dijk.

Comes off injured Konate came off with an apparent injury during Thursday's clash with Sparta Prague.
Impact Konate made it 50 minutes before going down in pain and immediately being brought off. The center-back would be a major loss, especially heading into the biggest game of the season, a Sunday clash with Manchester City. Joe Gomez would likely partner Virgil van Dijk if Konate is out for Sunday's match.
MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE
Available again Konate is an option for Saturday's contest against Brentford after serving his one-match suspension this past Saturday against Burnley.
Impact Konate will be available as an option for Saturday's contest following his red card after receiving two yellow cards against Arsenal on Feb. 4. The defender will most likely return to the starting XI against Brentford, as he has been given the start in seven of the club's past eight matches. He should continue in that spot moving forward as well, with Virgil Van Dijk and Konate being their best two options in the middle of the defense.
