Encouraging for Liverpool
That Ibrahima Konate is back in training for Liverpool is very good and encouraging news for the Anfield faithful.
The former Premier League club were woeful at the back against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.
Liverpool will take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend.
Now, it remains to be seen if Konate is able to start against Palace.
Even if the defender is on the bench, it will enhance the Reds’ chances of picking up all three points from the encounter against Palace.
