RBL chief warns Liverpool signing Keita: He must stop reacting to provocation

RB Leipzig chief Ralf Rangnick insists there's no concerns with Naby Keita over his Guinea blow up.

The midfielder, who is tied to Liverpool, scored and was sent off for Guinea in defeat to Tunisia.

"I would not call it over-motivated," Rangnick told BILD. "I'd rather say that it was a response to the actions against him in the course of the game. Due to his individual quality, he is now often fouled and provoked.

"But this also belongs to the learning process. And that is exactly what we will be talking about in peace."

RBL coach Ralph Hasenhüttl added: "If Naby brings his footballing skills back on the pitch, he is again an important player for us."
