First for Konate. The Liverpool player, a revelation in the central defense of the Reds this season, joins Clairefontaine after Raphaël Varane’s package for the next three League of Nations matches. Injured on Friday against Denmark, the Manchester United stopper passed exams this Saturday “who confirmed his unavailability”according to a press release from the France team.

Unhappy finalist in the Champions League and runner-up to Manchester City in the Premier League, Ibrahima Konaté discovers the Blues after an already successful season. Arriving on the banks of the Mersey last summer from Leipzig, the rough 21-year-old central defender won over the public at Anfield. He will now try to do the same with the tricolor clan.
He may have the opportunity to show his talent on Monday in Croatia. The Blues will then go to Vienna to face Austria before receiving Croatia to recover after the defeat against Denmark on Friday. In this sequence of matches, Konaté could experience his first selection with the blue jersey in a three-man defense that he rarely practices with the Reds but which he was used to in Germany.
