Immediately after the Reds’ 4-0 Europa League win over LASK in midweek, Jürgen Klopp reported his team had come through the match without any injury concerns.
On Ibrahima Konate being withdrawn before the hour mark on Thursday night, the boss clarified: “Ibou, top [performance]. That we took him off was a medical decision. No risks, stuff like this, give him minutes but not too long.”
Caoimhin Kelleher will continue to deputise in goal in the absence of the injured Alisson Becker, who is sidelined after sustaining an issue at Manchester City, as is Diogo Jota.
Longer-term absentees are Thiago Alcantara, Stefan Bajcetic and Andy Robertson.
