“He felt something in his hamstring.
“He had tests, but it’s not serious. Konate needs a bit of time to not take any risks. It’s an area where he already has an injury. It wasn’t in his interest or mine (to call him up). In the best of cases, he could have been training only Friday or Saturday.”
Hamstring injuries are always tricky to deal with. But Deschamps’ words should be music to Liverpool fans’ ears at this moment in time.
