Jurgen Klopp has defended Naby Keita's Liverpool career when paying tribute to the Guinean along with Roberto Firmino, James Milner, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ahead of the quartet's Anfield farewells on Saturday.
The club confirmed earlier this week that all four players will leave the Reds at the end of their contracts this summer. With this weekend's game against Aston Villa Liverpool's last home match of the season, it has also been confirmed that special acknowledgements will be paid to the quartet after the final whistle, with all four winning every major trophy on offer to them during their Anfield careers.
Firmino and Milner will depart with their status as beloved Reds legends already secure, having played more times for Klopp than any other players during the German's managerial career. However, Keita and Oxlade-Chamberlain have seen their own stints at Anfield often disrupted by injury.
