Naby Keita has revealed that he’s not completely fit ahead of the African Cup of Nations, according to Goal.

The midfielder suffered a groin injury against Barcelona on May 1 and was ruled out for the remainder of the season.

The No.8 appeared to make a speedy recovery in time for the African Cup of Nations tournament, but admitted yesterday that he’s “not 100% fit” upon arrival in Marrakesh.

“I am very happy to meet my teammates,” Keita said, according to Guineefoot.info.

“I am hoping to start work now even though I am not 100% fit, but when I was in Liverpool – I had already started training with the ball.

“Upon my arrival here, I am going to train with the team to see what’s next. I like to assure the fans, my teammates and the coach that I should be ready for Guinea’s first match.

“I am 100% motivated,” the Liverpool midfielder added.

Guinea play their opening African Cup of Nations match against Madagascar on June 22.
