Ibrahima Konaté

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté (26) is unlikely to feature in Saturday’s Premier League match against Bournemouth as he continues to grieve the recent passing of his father. Konaté was absent from Liverpool’s midweek Champions League clash with Marseille and is expected to remain in France on Friday, where a tribute will be paid in his father’s honor.
