# Liverpool: Fans rage as Naby Keita ruled out for Aston Villa cup clash

**Many Liverpool fans concluded that midfielder Naby Keita should be sold next summer after he suffered another setback.**

Speaking during his pre-match press conference before tonight’s FA Cup tie against Aston Villa (via [James Pearce](https://twitter.com/JamesPearceLFC/status/1347175414779826176)), manager Jurgen Klopp confined that the 25-year-old will not be fit enough to face Dean Smith’s side.

Keita has suffered [various injury issues](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/naby-keita/verletzungen/spieler/302215) this season and hasn’t started a game since the Reds’ [7-0](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55268080) win against Crystal Palace last month.

The Guinea international is sidelined, [along with](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/422098-injury-update-naby-keita-joel-matip-diogo-jota) Joel Matip and Diogo Jota, in a game that is [essentially in doubt](https://theathletic.com/news/aston-villa-liverpool-coronavirus-football/IjRX50zLr3Xa) after a mass coronavirus outbreak in the Villa camp.

With this in mind, supporters have had enough of Keita and some believe that his time at Anfield is coming to a screeching halt.

**“Ruled out again. Who treats him, physios or Autoglass? It’s a shame but it’s like Aquilani all over again.”**

**“He’s been a massive disappointment. Tries to do too much, loses the ball, gets injured. Rinse, repeat.”**
