Liverpool: Fans react to tackle on Naby Keita
A number of Liverpool fans have been reacting angrily to a tackle on Reds star Naby Keita during the international break.
Keita has suffered from over ten separate injuries since moving to Anfield (Transfermarkt), leading fans to shudder at what’s happened now.
Liverpool don’t play again until next Saturday evening, when they make the trip to Arsenal for a must-win game in the Premier League top-four race.
A number of a Reds stars are currently away on international duty, as Jurgen Klopp looks on and hopes they return to the AXA Training Centre injury-free.
One of those who is off representing his country is Keita, who is the star man for Guinea, having won 37 caps to date, also scoring eight goals.
A clip has emerged of the 26-year-old being kicked nastily in his nation’s clash with Mali on Wednesday – a match in which Keita’s men won 1-0.
Considering Liverpool’s No.8’s past injury woes, it was immediately concerning to see him be on the wrong end of such a bad tackle, but it doesn’t look as though any lasting damage has been done.
