Jurgen Klopp has provided an injury update on Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez, Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate.
Liverpool are in Amsterdam to face Ajax in the Champions League on Wednesday, looking to recover from Saturday’s loss to Nottingham Forest.
Thiago and Nunez missed that game and while Klopp confirmed that the former is still injured, there was good news about the Uruguayan striker.
Matip is still ruled out but Konate is ‘ready to play minutes’, German boss Klopp told reporters on Tuesday.
Matip and Konate have been absent from Liverpool’s last three matches – 1-0 victories over Manchester City and West Ham as well as the 1-0 defeat at Forest.
‘Thiago is still out,’ Klopp said ahead of the clash with Ajax. ‘Konate is here and ready to play minutes, I would say.
‘[He] could play the first minutes but it wouldn’t make too much sense. Nothing new [on] Matip yet, no.
‘Darwin is good. He trained. Normally yesterday and today. In this moment he is available.
‘Thiago was not close. Is he a doubt for tomorrow? I hope not but who knows.’
