Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on Friday said he was reluctant to dip into the transfer market in order to solve "four-week" injury problems.
Reds centre-back Ibrahima Konate suffered a knee injury in the friendly against Strasbourg on Sunday which Klopp said will see the defender out "for a while".
Konate has joined a list of sidelined Liverpool players that already includes Kostas Tsimikas, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Diogo Jota, Curtis Jones and reserve goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, with Naby Keita set to resume training on Friday after nearly a week out with illness.
None of the absentees are understood
to be suffering with long-term injuries,
however.
"We have too many injuries, that's true," said Klopp. "But in the moment nothing has changed (in terms of new signings). A lot of unlucky situations. Started with Caoimh and Diogo, pretty much one was injured and one had a re-injury.
"In a few weeks' time they will be back, but they've missed pre-season and that's not cool.
