Guinea coach Put says Keita can make Liverpool Champions League final

The Guinea FA believe Naby Keita could be fit for the Champions League final.

Keita has been sidelined since suffering an adductor injury when caught by Barcelona's Ivan Rakitic during the Champions League semi-final at Camp Nou on May 1. There had been expectations he would miss the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, which starts on June 21.

But Guinea national team coach Paul Put now insists: "He consulted his doctor in Switzerland, as I said at the beginning.

"He is in treatment with his doctor.

"He has started on the bike there (in Liverpool) and it is said that he will maybe in two weeks resume with the squad.

"It is even possible that he is in the squad for the Champions League final, if what I have been told is true. We will see.

"We will wait and remain realistic. This is not the time to scream or panic. We have to wait and see how it goes."
