A second time around during the impending international break, Didier Deschamps might incur Jürgen Klopp’s anger.
The France manager’s deployment of Ibrahima Konaté of Liverpool caused the two to argue earlier in the season.
The defender was forced off during the first leg of the Reds’ Europa League match against Sparta Prague, thus Klopp has been without him for the team’s last two games.
Konaté, though, might be set to make a comeback on Sunday in the FA Cup against Manchester United.

With three injury boosts for Liverpool, Jürgen Klopp is faced with a “fantastic problem” in the final stretch.
During an earlier international break, Konaté played all but three minutes in two games, leaving the Liverpool manager unimpressed.
This led to an altercation with Deschamps. The club manager, Klopp, had been judiciously allocating the defender’s playing time because of his recent history of injuries.

“I love absolutely everything about Ibou, but the problem is Ibou had injury problems from time to time and Mr Deschamps played him 90 and 87 minutes in the two games (for France),” Klopp stated to RMC Sport in October.
We therefore made use of this time to give him a brief nap. Of course, he could have played (against Toulouse), but he has another game on Sunday.
For this reason, I urged Ibou to ‘inform Mr. Deschamps that’s how you rest a player.'” Not for three minutes, but for ninety.

Konaté’s health is a concern once more, therefore Klopp will undoubtedly be closely watching France’s friendlies.
In the event that Deschamps plays again, the Liverpool manager might have more to say to him.
According to Liverpool.com, Konaté is a player who needs his minutes to be carefully managed because of his injury history.
Considering that he hasn’t even returned to Liverpool yet, you can imagine that Klopp might not be very thrilled to have him in France’s roster for the upcoming match.
Since nothing is at stake in those matches against Germany and Chile, one would think Deschamps would exercise common sense and refrain from putting Konaté at danger for longer than absolutely necessary.
If Klopp does, he might not pull any punches.
