Former Liverpool defender Markus Babbel says Naby Keita and Ibrahima Konate have had 'big problems' since they arrived at Anfield. The German international insists a number of players struggled after they left RB Leipzig.
Keita joined the Reds in the summer of 2018 but is yet to nail down a regular starting spot under manager Jurgen Klopp, largely down to difficulty with injuries. However, the Guinea international has still made 100 appearances in all competitions in a little under four years with the club.
Amid a defensive injury crisis last season, Konate was identified as the ideal solution and was signed for £36m in the summer. He may have Joel Matip to contend with to partner Virgil van Dijk, but the Frenchman has impressed when called upon this term.
