Liverpool provide update on Naby Keita injury

Liverpool have confirmed that Naby Keita is struggling with a muscle strain ‘around the hip area’ but it seems unlikely that the issue is serious.

The official club website published a statement which reads: “The Liverpool midfielder left Tuesday evening’s training session at Besiktas Park early after feeling the issue.

“The muscle strain occurred around the hip area and Keita will be assessed further by the Reds’ medical team in the coming days.”

Supporters were worried by Keita being forced to leave training due to another injury but after the Guinean was filmed walking onto the winners’ podium at Besiktas Park last night, it seems unlikely that the injury is serious.

The 24-year-old is a hugely exciting player but he needs a lucky break to escape the injuries that seem to threaten his development after being struck down by injury several times since the start of last season.

Liverpool face Southampton on Saturday but Keita is unlikely to feature unless the club’s medical staff discover that his recent injury scare is nothing too worry about.
