Naby Keita: Liverpool midfielder ruled out for at least two months

By Promise Amadi

Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Naby Keita might miss the Africa Nations Cup in the summer.

The Guinea international sustained a thigh injury against Barcelona on Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final.

He was replaced by Jordan Henderson after 24 minutes of the game, but the Reds suffered a 3-0 defeat.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of Saturday evening’s trip to Newcastle, said Klopp:

It’s very unlucky. Bad news,

The tendon is ruptured which keeps him out for at least two months. Bad news for us but bad news for him too with the African Cup of Nations coming up.

He was in a really good moment but that is how football and life sometimes are. It’s not nice but it’s very serious.
