Liverpool supporters have been torn between whether they want our players to succeed at the World Cup or return to Anfield quickly, but with only Ibou Konate making it to the final we all have our back and hope he gets the start against Argentina.
As reported by Hadrien Grenier, despite a recent illness, the 23-year-old could still be in line for a starting role: ‘Didier Deschamps is considering starting Ibrahima Konaté in central defense against Argentina!
“The Liverpool player was one of the headlines during the tactical set-up on Saturday.”

After receiving the go-ahead from Dayot Upamecano for the semi-final against Morocco, our number 5 put in such a brilliant performance that many thought it would be impossible for Didier Deschamps to trust him again.
However, the purchase of illness that has swept the French countryside may have scuppered our man’s prospects of receiving the go-ahead for what would be the biggest game of his career to date.
However, the news that the former RB Leipzig man is headlining in the tactical build-up for the match is certainly positive and we’ll all cross our fingers in the hope that he can become only the third Liverpool player in history to be on the pitch as his nation wins the World Cup.
