As starts of the seasons go, Liverpool’s has left a lot to be desired so far.
Jürgen Klopp’s men have been struggling more than usual, losing to the likes of Manchester United in the Premier League and Napoli in the Champions League, with some of their defenders giving some wobbly performances.
Joe Gomez, for example, was tormented for much of the game against the Italians, with many longing for Ibrahima Konaté, who has been sidelined at Liverpool since the summer.
RMC Sport, however, seem to give a bit of a boost regarding the player’s fitness, as they look at where the many absentees of the France squad are in their recovery ahead of the World Cup.
When talking about the Liverpool player, they state he has ‘just received the green light from the medical staff’ at Anfield ‘for a return to the group next weekend’.
That will be for the Brighton game, where Klopp will face an unknown entity in Robert De Zerbi, who will be in charge of his first game for the Seagulls since taking over from Graham Potter, who was signed by Chelsea to replace Thomas Tuchel.
