Naby Keita could be in line to return for Liverpool after the international break with Guinea's manager hopeful the midfielder will be fit for their upcoming fixtures this month.
The 27-year-old has not featured for his club side since the Community Shield victory over Manchester City at the end of July and is now nursing an injury. Keita was not even included in Liverpool's Champions League squad for the group stage, sparking concerns he could be ruled out of action for the long term.
However, Guinea boss Kaba Diawara has suggested the player could be back in action before the end of this month and has even named him in his squad for the friendlies against Algeria (September 23) and Ivory Coast (September 27). "Naby Kéita is injured and he is recovering from his injury. His situation is improving and he is even ahead of schedule," Diawara said (via Feguifoot ).
