JAKARTA - Liverpool received good news amid the sentence that befell Virgil van Dijk. Ibrahima Konate, who was previously injured, was declared to have recovered and ready to play.

Konate could be a replacement option for Van Dijk who will miss the next two matches. As is known, the captain received additional punishment after protesting excessively against Liverpool's match officials against Newcastle United, early last month. Van Dijk was only sentenced not to appear in one party after he was hit by a red card directly at St James Park. However, because he protested, his sentence was added to two matches.

The Reds manager, Jurgen Klopp, was dizzy. The reason is, stock in the doorstop sector is very limited.

Joe Gomez is the only centre-back left for Joel Matip's companion. However, Konate's return from the treatment room has become a breath of fresh air. "(Ibrahria) Konate has returned to her home in France during the international break. Through Instagram he shared a video of himself running, which is a sign of a positive connection with his fitness. He also cycled in Paris right next to the Eiffel Tower," the report quoted from 90min on Monday, September 11.

Liverpool will meet Wolverhampton Wanderers after the international break. The duel took place at Wolves headquarters at Molineux Stadium, Saturday, September 16 evening WIB.

It is not yet known whether Konate will go down the mountain in the party or not. However, his presence could make Klopp breathe a little easier.
