Liverpool news and transfers LIVE: Marc Guehi boost, Ibrahima Konate injury, Isak blow

Isak dealt international blow

It's been a mixed international break for Liverpool's stars so far, with Alexander Isak suffering another blow with Sweden.

Although the striker got 90 minutes under his belt as he continues to build up his fitness, a 2-0 defeat to Switzerland all but ends his country's chances of qualifying directly for next year's World Cup, with a play-off place looking like the best they can hope for now.

Plenty of other Reds have been in action in recent days - read how they got on, including Florian Wirtz, Conor Bradley and Hugo Ekitike, right here.

Marc Guehi boost

Liverpool may have been handed a boost in its hopes of signing Marc Guehi, with Football Insider claiming Crystal Palace may have found a replacement for the England international.

It’s reported that the Eagles have set their sights on West Ham defender Max Kilman ahead of the January window - the 28-year-old is under contract until 2031 though, which could make things trickier.

Nevertheless, Palace is said to be exploring the market for alternatives to Guehi should he leave in January. Liverpool boss Arne Slot has hinted his side won’t be looking to do business in the New Year, although interest from the likes of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid could force a change in approach.

Konate sent home early

Ibrahima Konate has been sent home early by France, with the defender still struggling with the thigh injury he picked up against Chelsea.

Konate missed Friday's game against Azerbaijan, with Didier Deschamps deciding against taking him to Iceland for France's next World Cup qualifier tomorrow.

The 26-year-old had been training away from the rest of his teammates during the week, with concerns now for Arne Slot ahead of next week's game against Manchester United.
