Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konate will play no part in France’s fixture against Iceland on Monday and will return home to Merseyside.

Konate has been carrying an injury after being substituted during the Reds’ 2-1 loss against Chelsea last weekend.

Despite the knock, Konate was included in Didier Deschamps’ squad to face Azerbaijan and Iceland.

The 26-year-old was even named on the bench during Friday night’s win over Azerbaijan, but will now leave the camp and head back to Liverpool.

Konate has been struggling for form in recent weeks, while he is yet to sign an extension to his contract which is due to expire at the end of the season.

After news emerged from the France camp that Konate was training alone ahead of Friday night’s game, alarm bells should have been sounding for Liverpool.

With a fixture against Manchester United to come next Sunday, Arne Slot may have to turn to Joe Gomez.

For the time being, however, there is no further confirmation that Konate will be unable to play.
