Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has got exactly what he wanted regarding Naby Keita, with the midfielder stepping out of international duty.
The former RB Leipzig star has been out of action since the Reds’ Community Shield success over Manchester City with a hamstring injury - the problem seeing him miss out on a place in Liverpool ’s squad for the Champions League group stages.
It remains to be seen when the 27-year-old will be back in action but Klopp previously suggested that he was hopeful that Keita would not be called up by Guinea for the upcoming international break where they will take on Algeria and the Ivory Coast.
