France coach Didier Deschamps says Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate is out of Sunday's clash with Aston Villa.
Konate will miss the game due to a strain, but Deschamps has included him in his latest squad.
He worked well. We'll assess the situation on Monday, but he's supposed to be available," Deschamps said when asked if Konate is fit. Of course, I won't take risks.
He was stopped for four days, he followed his program and he will train until Monday. It's highly likely that he won't be involved for Liverpool's game on Sunday.
It means both Konate and Virgil van Dijk, due to suspension, will be out for the clash with Villa.
