Ibrahima Konate has posted a message on social media after achieving his 'childhood dream' of being named in the France squad for the World Cup.
It was revealed on Wednesday night that the Liverpool defender would be making the trip to Qatar as France begin the defence of the World Cup they won in 2018.
Konate earned his first cap for the French senior team in June after he received a late call-up to Didier Deschamps' squad.

The 24-year-old produced a fine performance for Liverpool in their 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday evening in North London.
Konate took to social media to say: "What a pride and what an honour to be able to represent France for the biggest competition. This is a childhood dream come true. What a long way since the city stadium, but it's not over yet.
"Thank you so much for your support and love. I will give it all to go get that win and make you all happy during this incredible competition! Now off to Qatar and above all, go Blues!"
