Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is delighted with Naby Keita's current form.

Klopp insists Keita's improvement is down to an injury free run.

"It's the same situation with Thiago," said the Reds boss. "I don't like to talk about it, exactly the same expectation from my side, somebody tells me 'Naby cannot play'.

"When Naby was fit and Naby could get some rhythm he was always really good, unfortunately he could not get as much rhythm as he wished and as we wished in the past. Maybe that's over now (knocks wood). Hopefully the future is bright for him, he is a great player.

"The year before (Keita signed) it was Keita and Thiago were the two best midfielders in the Bundesliga by a distance. So to first get Naby and then Thiago, was obviously a good idea."
