Haven't we got to assume Konate is out for a while at this point? Or has there been news I've missed?

Haven't we got to assume Konate is out for a while at this point? Or has there been news I've missed?

Klopp said he could be available for the game this weekend.

Klopp on March 10: "No, no [it is not serious]. Ibou has a chance for [the FA Cup tie at Manchester] United. A good chance."

[elmothered1]

konate was training today running on his own. he will be back in team training by thursday

[Knight]

Thanks, that's Brilliant

[In the Name of Klopp]

When is Jota back?

[exiledintheUSA]

When is Jota back?

Thought Klopp said he'd be back before the end of the season - I was assuming that meant some time in April......

[Black Bull Nova]

Reserves on thursday (you know, mostly the ones that beat Chelsea at Wembley) with serious back up on the bench and players who need minutes.


Full team v United but all internationals limp off at the end.

[Black Bull Nova]

When is Jota back?

For when we play Bayer in Dublin

[Goalposts for Jumpers]

Jones' injury completely passed me by - what's he done and when's he due back?

[JasonF]

Jones' injury completely passed me by - what's he done and when's he due back?

The midfielder sustained a high ankle sprain during Liverpool's win at Brentford on February 17. Lijnders confirmed ahead of the League Cup final that Jones will be available again 'around the [March] international break'.

Having Jones back would be vital for the midfield, we need to be able to manage Endo and Macca’s minutes a bit more

Got taken out by one of Brentford's yard dogs

[deano2727]

If we can get Ali, Jones, Trent and Jota back and playing for April (and avoid any other major injuries), I would say we are in a good place going into the run-in.

[Too early for flapjacks?]

Konate should be back for Man Utd on Sunday. Trent, Jones and Gravenberch for the game after that which is Brighton after the international break.

That just leaves Jota then really? From those likely to play again this season.

Ali will be a while too I think.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Ali will be a while too I think.

Shit yeah. Probably a testament to Kelleher that he didn't enter my mind!

[Knight]

Totally. Kelleher & Bradley, and Endo to some extent too, have been so good that I'm pretty relaxed about Ali, Trent and Jones. Jota is a huge miss though. And obviously we want our injured players back because the likelihood is that currently fit players will get injured at some point!

[Redley]

Since we all love a conspiracy theory...I wonder if we're got to a point with a few of the injuries where they are maybe closer than we think to returning but don't particularly want some doofus international coach saying 'Well if he's ok to train I'll call him up'

I don't know. We never seem to take this approach. Maybe only fergie could get away with that

Some questionable Twitter suggestions that jota is back in training today. Nothing said about him expressly in presser

If true, that would have me incredibly aroused. Much to my colleagues dismay.

Key is the depth for rotation and stronger bench and guarding against further injuries or fatigue, so it's vital to have these players back. Going to be two games a week rest of the season from Brighton onwards (at least if we get past United and win the quarter final).

If it's true I can't imagine it's training training, like with the team, maybe he's back running etc - which would be great news after less than a month. Would put him on course for mid April maybe?

There was talk a while back that Jones might make the weekend.

Be amazing to have him and Trent back for Brighton though with Jota and Ali to follow.

i know adrian isnt a fan favourite here

but brad jones in goal does make me a bit weak in the knees.

[sashraf1066]

Having Joe Gomez in goal would be less stressful than seeing Adrian playing there.

[18 yard line]

Did Klopp actually mention Konate in the presser? Maybe I missed it.

do you know that they'd be dismayed? sometimes, you gotta test these theories.

[elmothered1]

almost back to full strength for brighton is huge that week is massive 3 lg games. especially with utd at chelsea on the night we have sheff utd at home before the sunday game at Old Trafford. having ability to change team manage minutes and look to thump a few in be perfect

[Caston]

Looks like Gravenberch is back training

[Draex]

Looks like Gravenberch is back training

In the squad for tomorrow as well! Great news.

[Angelius]

Great to see Grav back in training - need all the legs we have in midfield to manage minutes and prevent injuries.

[p27051]

Any update on Jayden Danns? Haven't heard anything in a while

[Samie]

Gravy is back. 

[afc tukrish]

Gravy is back. 

Is he a bit thick?
