Van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold, Konate - Liverpool injury, suspension news and return dates ahead of Wolves
Liverpool are back in action this weekend and restart Premier League action when they travel to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Jurgen Klopp will be hoping that defensive options Ibrahima Konate and Trent Alexander-Arnold are fit for the trip to Molineux. Alexander-Arnold was the latest casualty for the Reds after being forced off in the win over Aston Villa, on the eve of the international break.
Konate has been a longer absentee after suffering a muscle injury, in the wake of the win over AFC Bournemouth. The Frenchman has missed the previous two Premier League outings and was forced to pull out of France's internationals this month.
Virgil van Dijk is a definite absentee, as well as Thiago and Conor Bradley, after his ban was extended following the Football Association's improper conduct charge.

Jurgen Klopp has already sent clear signal on Liverpool future and Germany job
Even just a few weeks into the new season the Reds have a number of injuries to contend with. But the German boss will be hoping to have some players back fit after the international break. Below is the latest Liverpool injury news:
Trent Alexander-Arnold
Trent Alexander-Arnold took a knock in the 3-0 win over Aston Villa, limping off and straight down the tunnel with just under 20 minutes to play.
The full-back underwent a scan on Monday, September 4 and was ruled out for around two weeks after the results showed a minor hamstring strain.
Speaking on the injury, Klopp said: "I asked him and he said it’s (his) hamstring. Not too serious is his opinion, but we obviously have to wait for the scans. Then we will know more."
He is a doubt for the clash at Molineux.
Expected return
