Liverpool defender Konate returns to France training

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has returned to France training following concerns he could be ruled out of Sunday's World Cup final.

Konate became the latest member of Didier Deschamps' squad to suffer symptons of a virus that ruled Adrien Rabiot and Dayot Upamecano out of Les Blues' semi-final clash with Morocco.

A fresh report by L'Équipe has offered a positive update on the situation, however, claiming Konate is 'doing better' and 'returned to the group' this afternoon.
