What happened. Liverpool are considering a move for Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa, potentially hijacking Arsenal's interest, as manager Andoni Iraola seeks a solution to his central defensive injury crisis.

• Joe Gomez's injury in a friendly has highlighted Liverpool's lack of depth in defence.
• New signing Jeremy Jacquet is yet to feature in pre-season due to a shoulder injury.
• Giovanni Leoni is still recovering from an ACL injury, and Ibrahima Konate has left the club.

Liverpool need an experienced partner for Van Dijk, with the transfer window still open.
