Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez were both missing from Liverpool’s group training session on Wednesday ahead of their fixture with Nottingham Forest this weekend.
The defensive duo are, according to the Liverpool Echo, working to individual fitness programmes ahead of Saturday’s game at Anfield, where Forest will look to pull off a shock victory to end a 10-game winless run.
Liverpool go into the game off the back of a 6-1 win over Leeds, and Konate was key to that success. The match saw Trent Alexander-Arnold given the freedom to play in a defensive midfield position and create chances from a central area, and it was a plan that paid off because Konate’s versatility and athleticism allowed him to cover the right-back spot.
