Injury issue for Liverpool as Naby Keita suffers another setback
Unfortunately, Liverpool have received some bad news as Naby Keita has suffered a fresh injury setback. The injury could be serious enough to rule the 28-year-old out of the upcoming games against Manchester City and Chelsea as per GOAL via ECHO.
Keita picked up this injury during Guinea’s AFCON qualifier against Ethiopia on Monday. He came off substituted at half-time and has not returned to first-team training since. These reports suggest that Keita is now facing an extended period on the sidelines. This is a big blow for the player who has already had a difficult time at Liverpool.
The player’s time at Merseyside has been injury-laid, and he has struggled to stay fit for long periods. This latest setback could be the final straw for the club, and it is likely that the player has already played his last game for Liverpool.
It is best for both parties to move on. Liverpool need players who can stay fit and contribute regularly to the team. Keita, on the other hand, needs to play regularly to regain his form and confidence. That is proving to be the toughest thing for the former RB Leipzig man to do.
Coupe de Grace for Keita at Liverpool
While it is unfortunate that Keita’s time at Liverpool has not gone as planned, the club must move forward. They have a tough run of fixtures coming up and need all their players fit and firing.
This latest setback for Keita will be disappointing for him, but he must remain positive and focus on his recovery. He has shown glimpses of his talent during his time at Liverpool, and if he can stay fit, he could still have a successful career elsewhere.
In the most likely of situations, the player will head obviously head out of the club in the summer as a free agent. But in the meantime, Liverpool will have to rely on their other midfield options to step up and fill the void left by Keita’s absence.
It is a challenging period for the club, but they have the quality and depth to cope with these setbacks. Keita’s injury is certainly a blow for Liverpool, but it is not the end of the world as we have survived when he saw himself out due to various issues, and the club will continue to do so.

It is probably time for the social media team to put out a Thank You Naby post already as the player’s time has been extremely frustrating at the club. Even the fans and well-wishers of Liverpool with the utmost levels of patience stand disappointed due to Keita’s unavailability in big games.
