Liverpool have been dealt with a major injury blow ahead of their Premier League clash against Newcastle United.
After recording their first Premier League victory of the 23/24 season last weekend against Bournemouth at Anfield, Liverpool face a tough test this Sunday with a trip to St. James’ Park.
Speaking to the media ahead of the match, Klopp has given a brief update on any injury concerns ahead of their clash with Eddie Howe's men.Whilst giving positive updates on the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones, there was a concerning update with regards to central defender Ibrahima Konate.
Klopp said: “Trent [is fit] yes. Thiago and Curtis from Monday onwards and Ibou Konate is a doubt.
“Playing 40 mins with 10 men didn't help! That's the situation. Very good news [about Mac Allister's red card]. Massive relief.”Klopp was later asked what Konate’s injury was, the Liverpool simply said: “Muscle.”When asked if his squad has enough defensive cover, Klopp said: “We have in an ideal world 8 centre-halves and I have no doubt about the quality of the boys.
“Quansah a super talented player. At this moment we are covered but it's not where you can be prepared for every situation. We will do our absolute best.”
