# Liverpool: Fans rage at Naby Keita following latest setback

**Many Liverpool fans have been criticised midfielder Naby Keita after he suffered yet another injury which saw him miss his side’s [1-1](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/55462353) draw against West Bromwich Albion.**

Manager Jurgen Klopp before the game confirmed that the Guinea international is “a little bit injured” and that there was “nothing else to say” on the matter (cited by [Anfield Watch](https://twitter.com/AnfieldWatch/status/1343225088645201920)).

Since his [£48m](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41075272) move from RB Leipzig in 2018, Keita has scored just seven goals and provided four assists from 71 games during that timeframe ([TransferMarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/naby-keita/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/302215)).

On top of this, Keita has missed [34](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/naby-keita/verletzungen/spieler/302215) games due to various fitness issues, including a brief spell out due to coronavirus, which equates to almost one entire season.

With this in mind, supporters were beginning to lose patience in the 25-year-old, with some suggesting that he should be offloaded during the January transfer window.

### Fans fume at Keita

**“2 and 1/2 years he’s been with us and he’s played about 50 games, for the money that was spent on him he’s been a huge let down. He has potential but he’s offering us nothing sitting in the stands, sell him and if we get £20m just take it.”**
