It’s been a season of false dawns and with each two steps we make forward, it’s often soon followed by one backwards and this may continue with a possible injury doubt for Ibou Konate.
Speaking with the media ahead of facing West Ham, Jurgen Klopp said: “Ibou, we need to see how it is with him but in the moment I am rather positive but that doesn’t mean a lot.
“From possible starters I think that’s it.”
It certainly could be worse news from the boss, in terms of how severe the possible injury is to our No.5, but it’s still a little alarming to hear that the Frenchman could miss out against the Hammers.
Let’s hope that the 23-year-old can show that he is fully fit and able to perform against David Moyes’ side, as we look to follow up our victories over Leeds United and Nottingham Forest – with another three points.
