# Liverpool: Fans bemoan Naby Keita injury update

**A number of Liverpool supporters have been bemoaning the news that Naby Keita will miss the Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid.**

The Reds suffered a disappointing afternoon on Saturday, blowing a two-goal lead to eventually draw 2-2 at home to Brighton.

Chelsea’s win at Newcastle United means they have opened up a three-point lead at the top of the Premier League, although Manchester City’s defeat at home to Crystal Palace was a bonus.

There were plenty of negatives on show at Anfield but one of the biggest was [another injury to Keita](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/naby-keita/verletzungen/spieler/302215), who has [found some impressive form](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/243510/MatchStatistics/Naby-Ke%C3%AFta) this season. The Guinean left the pitch in the first half with a hamstring problem and Liverpool didn’t look the same force from that point onwards, with the midfield looking [too open](https://www.goal.com/en/news/advantage-chelsea-liverpool-fluff-their-lines-as-klopps-midfield-/usxm794cfunx13uqe82u35qu5).

On Sunday, the club’s [official Twitter account](https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1454751985450762241?s=20) confirmed that the 26-year-old is expected to miss Wednesday’s visit of Atletico, acting as a big blow to Jurgen Klopp’s side.
