Why Naby Keita can't play for Liverpool against Ajax despite returning from injury

Naby Keita won’t be eligible to play for Liverpool against Ajax on Wednesday night despite his recent return to training.

The Guinean hasn’t featured since the Reds’ win over Man City in the Community Shield back in July because of illness and injury, and has only just returned following a lengthy lay-off after injuring his thigh.

Returning to training last week, the 27-year-old was back in full team training ahead of Liverpool ’s trip to Ajax. However, he isn’t eligible to face the Dutch giants after Jurgen Klopp left the midfielder out of his Champions League squad along with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
