Asked regarding Ibrahima Konaté, absent for the reception of Toulouse this Thursday evening in the Europa League (5-1), Jürgen Klopp took the opportunity to send a little message to Didier Deschamps. The Liverpool coach obviously did not appreciate the management of his central defender during the last international break.
Jürgen Klopp had a little message to convey. Asked regarding Ibrahima Konaté before the Europa League match once morest Toulouse this Thursday evening (5-1 victory), the Liverpool coach showed himself somewhat annoyed by the use of his central defender during the team’s last rally of France. When announcing his absence for the TFC reception at Anfield, the German technician slipped a small tackle to Didier Deschamps.

“He’s not going to play tonight, he’s not even in the squad. I love absolutely everything regarding Ibou, but the problem is that he’s had several injuries. Mr. Deschamps makes him play 90 and 87 minutes during the last two matches, so we gave him a little rest,” Klopp told RMC Sport.
Two starts with the Blues during the last meeting
At the end of August-beginning of September, the 24-year-old central defender missed two Premier League matches due to a muscle injury. Just before joining the French team in mid-October, he was preserved and only came into play at the end of the championship match on the Brighton pitch. Deschamps started him during the Blues’ two matches, first once morest the Netherlands (2-1, Euro 2024 qualifying), then once morest Scotland (4-1, friendly match).
“He might have played this evening, but he must also play on Sunday, continued the Liverpool coach. Mr. Deschamps, that’s how we rest the players. Not three minutes…” The Blues coach will appreciate it.
