Liverpool are ready for another key week in their season, and Jurgen Klopp has received a boost as Ibrahima Konate returned to training on Tuesday.
The Reds face Sparta Praha in the Europa League round of 16 at Anfield on Thursday after winning the first leg 5-1, and then travel to Old Trafford on Sunday to face Manchester United for a spot in the FA Cup semi-finals.
Klopp has received a boost ahead of these fixtures as Konate was sighted in training on Tuesday and is expected to be fit to travel to Manchester, according to Sky Sports.
The Frenchman picked up an injury issue in Prague last Thursday, forcing him to miss the Merseyside club’s meeting against Manchester City play at the weekend.
It was also reported that Virgil van Dijk skipped training, although there is no problem with the defender, who has been granted a rest ahead of the match against Manchester United.
Ibrahima Konate returned to Liverpool training.
The return of Konate is a significant boost for Liverpool because the 24-year-old is the perfect partner for Virgil van Dijk in the Reds’ defence.
Klopp is starting to bring players back following a frightening injury problem over the last month, and it’s amazing how the Merseyside club has recovered with the results they’ve had.
The run-up to the Premier League title is expected to be difficult for all three teams, and each must have as near to a completely healthy roster as possible in order to compete in several competitions.
