Klopp was already missing Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker, Diogo Jota, Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones among others.

The Liverpool boss said during the week: “[Konate] was rather positive last night, thought he made the right decision at the moment but it doesn't mean a lot unfortunately. He will have a scan definitely and I don't have the results yet. Others are fine."

Jarell Quansah is in the starting XI as a result of Konate’s absence, while Conor Bradley is back in the team at right-back.

Mohamed Salah is still on the bench after making his injury return in midweek with Darwin Nunez up front alongside Harvey Elliott and Luis Diaz.

Joe Gomez is preferred at left-back to Kostas Tsimikas and Andrew Robertson, who are both on the bench.
