Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has told The Liverpool Echo that he does not know when Naby Keita will be back in action.
Klopp has said that Keita is injured at the moment and will not play for Liverpool against Bournemouth this weekend.
Liverpool will take on Bournemouth at Anfield in the Premie League on Saturday afternoon.
Keita was injured in training last weekend, and Klopp has admitted that he does not know when the Guinea international midfielder will be back in action.
Jurgen Klopp on Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita
Klopp told The Liverpool Echo about Keita: “We still need to have a look exactly how long it will take, it’s his muscle and it’s not 100% clear.”
Disappointing
In our view, Naby Keita’s situation is disappointing, both for the player and for Liverpool.
The 27-year-old has had injury problems throughout his time at Liverpool so far, and we have not seen the best of him.
Liverpool have issues in their midfield department at the moment, and manager Jurgen Klopp could have really done with Keita in his team.
Klopp’s comments suggest that the Liverpool manager does not know when the midfielder will be back in action.
Moreover, when Keita does recover his fitness, he will need time to get up to speed and get back his rhythm.
Keita has scored seven goals and created nine big chances in 76 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
