The fixtures are coming thick and fast for Liverpool at the moment, and the Reds face Arsenal on Wednesday in a crunch clash.

As with any congested fixture list, Liverpool will need to have a deep squad to get through this period, but unfortunately, the Reds have had some fitness problems as of late.

Mohamed Salah picked up an injury against Brighton, while Ibrahima Konate missed the game against the Seagulls after missing training last week.

Luckily though, Konate has now been snapped back in training.

Konate has been excellent this season, being branded as ‘brilliant’ and having him fit for this fixture is a boost for the Reds.

Konate may not start ahead of Joel Matip or Virgil van Dijk, but given the fact that Matip and van Dijk have had less than stellar injury records over the past year, Konate being fit and available will be important for the run-in.

Fingers crossed Konate’s issues are now behind him and he’ll be able to play a key part as Liverpool look to pile the pressure on Manchester City in this title race.

Unfortunately for Liverpool supporters, Mohamed Salah was not pictured in this training session and it looks like he’ll be a doubt for the Arsenal game.
