The Liverpool midfielder has missed most of the season through injury.
Some Liverpool fans are eager to see midfielder Naby Keita start the club’s next match against Leicester City in the English Premier League.
The Reds survived a tricky UEFA Champions League fixture at home to Salzburg on Wednesday night, but the midfield performance did not get rave reviews from pundits or supporters.
Jordan Henderson’s display was singled out as particularly poor by supporters.
It’s left Jurgen Klopp with something of a selection dilemma heading into the match against Brendan Rodgers’ Foxes.
Leicester have shown already this season they are capable of big performances. Coming fresh off a 5-0 rout of Newcastle, they certainly won’t be a walkover at Anfield on Saturday.
Would Keita bring balance back to Liverpool’s midfield?
Selecting him could be seen as something of a bold call considering his injury issues this season. There would be question marks about his match fitness, especially if he is started.
He has yet to play a Premier League game this season, having also struggled with injuries last term.
Encouragingly, he came off the bench late against Salzburg and got minutes in the League Cup last week.
The feeling is he’s yet to show his true worth in Klopp’s team. Could that all change starting this weekend?
These fans are certainly keen on their manager making a big switch, taking to Twitter to share their thoughts this week…
