Jurgen Klopp has no doubt about what Naby Keita bring to his Liverpool side.

The midfielder was impressive in Saturday's 1-0 win over Norwich City, his first start since Boxing Day.

Asked about Keita and his squad depth ahead of Tuesday's Champions League last-16, Klopp was effusive in his praise of the Guinea international.

He told the club's website: "Naby is a brilliant player.

"We only have to make sure we have only brilliant players, by the way! That's sometimes the problem of the players; when you play, you play really well and why should we change?

"I never doubt Naby. Of course he needs games, that's clear, that's why he gets games when he is fit. If you look at when he was fit and how often he played then, not so bad. That's the situation.

"Thank God, we have a squad that offers us different solutions. We had injuries but nobody speaks about it because we never suffered from it. That is good.

"For the players when they come back, rhythm-wise, look at Joel [Matip] and Dejan [Lovren]. They both played sensationally for us and now Joel was not in the squad [at Norwich]. That's really, really hard.

"When they are all fit, this is the situation – that's for Naby the same and for others."
