# Liverpool: Klopp reveals Naby Keita issue

**Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Naby Keita injured his hamstring during Liverpool’s clash with Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday night.**

### **Keita hurts hamstring**

Despite being without the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold against the Foxes, the Reds still ran out comfortable 3-o winners.

However, another inury issue arose during the 90 minutes, with Keita coming off early in the second half. Talking after the match, Klopp [revealed the nature of the problem](https://twitter.com/AnfieldWatch/status/1330634575610060808). He said:

> *“It was his hamstring.”*

### **Just the latest injury**

This is just the latest in a long list of injuries at Anfield. Along with the trio of players previously mentioned, [Joe Gomez, Xherdan Shaqiri, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Thiago Alcantara](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-injury-updates-keita-salah-18850112) are also also unavailable. Whilst the Reds continue to win at the moment, that will surely only last for so long if they remain without close to half a squad.

For Keita, it is the same old story. According to Transfermarkt, this will be the [ninth](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/naby-keita/verletzungen/spieler/302215) different spell on the sidelines for the Guinea international. Whilst he may be a top player – earlier this year, Van Dijk called him [“outstanding” and “world-class”](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/403684-naby-keita-world-class-virgil-van-dijk) – he is no use to anyone if he continues to spend time on the sidelines. It feels like it is only a matter of time before Klopp and co lose patience.
