US EditionIbrahima Konate Released From France Squad as Liverpool Injury Concerns Continue - Liverpool Echo
- On Saturday, Ibrahima Konate withdrew from France's squad with a thigh injury and was released to his club, while Marseille defender Benjamin Pavard was called up as his replacement.
- Konate limped off for Liverpool during the Chelsea match on October 4 after feeling discomfort in his quadriceps, but France called him up earlier this week despite the injury.
- During the camp, Konate missed several training sessions before returning on Wednesday, and France said he has followed an adapted treatment protocol since arriving at Clairefontaine.
- Liverpool now face increased defensive strain ahead of Manchester United as Konate's withdrawal leaves Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk as the only fit senior centre-backs, with Giovanni Leoni and Alisson Becker also ruled out.
- The club will assess Konate's fitness at the AXA Training Centre in the coming days, leaving his availability for October 19 and October 22 fixtures unclear.
