Liverpool injury update: Ibrahima Konate, Curtis Jones and Stefan Bajcetic latest news and return dates

Liverpool’s promising start to the season continued on Sunday.

Darwin Nunez scored a late brace as the Reds came from behind to beat Newcastle at St James’ Park as Jurgen Klopp’s side claimed a huge result.

After such a difficult campaign last time out, Liverpool look to be approaching their best once again but are not without injury concerns.

With that in mind, here’s a look at the latest Liverpool injuries…
