Liverpool defender Konate: I'll be ready for Solanke

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate says he's up for tomorrow's clash with Bournemouth.

The match will see Konate face former Reds striker Dominic Solanke.

He told liverpoolfc.com: "I'm ready to come up against any attacker in the world if necessary in order to defend this Liverpool team.

"It doesn't really matter who we're up against, but for sure they've got some very good forwards. It's true that we have seen Solanke having a really good spell, particularly in the last month, where he's scored six goals, if I remember rightly.

"He's in a really good vein of form and he will be high on confidence. And so it's now down to us, the whole team and me also as a defender to make sure we put an end to that good run of form on behalf of our team."
