Liverpool are "satisfied that Naby Keita is safe and well" as they work to get him out of Guinea following an attempted coup in the country.

The 26-year-old was representing his country in a World Cup qualifier against Morocco on Monday.

The match was postponed following hours of heavy gunfire near the presidential palace, with an attempted coup taking place in the capital Conakry.

A Liverpool spokesman said the club was in "constant contact" with Keita.

"We have had regular communication via his national team management," said the club spokesman in a statement to the PA news agency.

"We are satisfied that he is safe and well cared for. Obviously the situation is fluid and we will maintain regular dialogue with the relevant authorities as we work to get Naby back to Liverpool in a timelyand secure manner."
