Liverpool’s Defender Back in Action with France…
Ibrahima Konate made Liverpool fans’ hearts skip a beat when he limped off against Arsenal, right before Dominik Szoboszlai’s magic free-kick secured a 1-0 win. Supporters feared the worst, like when you accidentally drop your phone face down. But thankfully, those fears vanished faster than a chocolate bar at a diet meeting after a last-minute move for Marc Guehi collapsed. Liverpool remains undefeated, and Konate’s showing up healthy sure feels like finding an unexpected extra fry at the bottom of a fast food bag.
Luckily, the defender is back in action, now donning the French jersey during the international break’s World Cup qualifiers. He reported for training with France, putting everyone’s mind at ease, including Liverpool teammate Hugo Ekitike, who must feel like a lottery winner on call-up. Arne Slot could finally breathe easier, though he’s keeping an eye out like a hawk with binoculars to ensure Konate stays fit. In truly dramatic fashion, the Liverpool boss compared Konate’s limp-off to a ‘welcome to the Premier League’ moment, like finding out water is wet.
