Jurgen Klopp says Ibrahima Konate is NOT injured - explains why he was left at home

Jurgen Klopp has played down fears of an injury to Ibrahima Konate, confirming he was simply rested for Liverpool's 2-1 win over West Ham United.

The Reds centre-back was left out of the squad entirely for the visit to the London Stadium as Virgil van Dijk started alongside Joel Matip, who headed home the second-half winner in the capital after Cody Gakpo had cancelled out Lucas Paqueta's opener.

The win moves the Reds up to sixth in the Premier League and their unbeaten run now stands at five games, dating back to the loss at Manchester City at the start of the month.
