Ibrahima Konate has wrested his starting place back for Liverpool and this season will be crucial in shaping his future at the club
Sometimes it doesn't take much for a career to take an unexpected turn. Ibrahima Konate has discovered that during a rollercoaster year for both club and country. And the centre-back has also underlined the power of being the player in possession of the jersey after another indomitable showing in helping Liverpool secure a memorable 3-0 win at Manchester United on Sunday to extend their perfect start to life under new head coach Arne Slot.
And despite featuring in both of France's warm-up friendlies for the European Championship, fitness worries meant he was left on the sidelines throughout his country's run to the semi-finals at the tournament. A new manager at Liverpool, with Slot replacing Klopp, appeared to have made no difference to the status quo with Konate benched for the Premier League opener at Ipswich Town and Quansah starting alongside Virgil van Dijk .
