Agbonlahor: Klopp will be happy with Keita Liverpool form; injury a shame

Former Aston Villa captain Gabby Agbonlahor is upset for Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita over his injury setback.

Keita has been in fine form of late, scoring in the away wins over Atletico Madrid and Manchester United respectively.

But he hobbled off with an injury during the Reds' 5-0 win at Old Trafford last Sunday, after being on the wrong end of a two footed tackle from United's Paul Pogba.

However, Jurgen Klopp revealed he will be available for Saturday's game against Brighton.

"It was a shame for him to get that injury [against Man United]," Agbonlahor told Football Insider.

“He scored again, and was making some good runs. It's definitely something that was sad.

"I'm sure he'll get his chance again in the team because I think Klopp would have been happy with his recent performances.

“He came off in the game before [against Atletico Madrid] but against Man United he was outstanding."
