The family home of Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita has been targeted by local youths.

Police in Conakry have confirmed that they were called out after reports of a disturbance.

“We sent a team of policemen to a house at Coleah in Conakry to restore calm after some youths attempted acts of riotous conduct in a house believed to be the family home of footballer Naby Keita," a police source told the BBC.

Media in Conakry reported that the youths were targeting one of Keita's relatives who they claimed had performed witchcraft which had affected the player's performances in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Keita has struggled with a groin injury since May.
