Keita started the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match in Kigali but was forced off in the first half. And to make matters worse, a stretcher was not available so Keita had to be carried off the field by a teammate. It’s now unlikely that the £52 million midfielder will be fit for Liverpool’s clash with Huddersfield Town on Saturday. Keita’s injury will provide a further headache for Jurgen Klopp as James Milner, Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Sadio Mane are all carrying injuries ahead of the game against Huddersfield.
Milner injured his hamstring against Manchester City 10 days ago but reports claim that the midfielder could be available.
Salah was forced off in Egypt’s win over Swaziland last week and has already returned to Liverpool for treatment.
Mane suffered a broken thumb in training with Senegal’s national team and may miss the game against Huddersfield. Van Dijk, meanwhile, has been playing with two broken ribs but played and scored in Netherlands’ 3-0 win over Germany on Saturday evening.
