Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will not risk Naby Keita in the Champions League final, despite admitting the midfielder was ahead of schedule in his recovery from injury.

The Guinean has been sidelined since suffering an adductor injury against Barcelona in the first-leg of the semi-final.

Keita has joined his teammates for the Reds' training camp in Marbella, and Klopp has provided an update on the 24-year-old's status.

He said: "Naby is, I would say, a bit ahead of schedule, but that doesn't mean anything for the final. He is now doing straight runs and all of that stuff, he feels comfortable with 50 per cent intensity and these things – but there is still a way to go.

"I know about the issues with Guinea and stuff like that; we don't want to keep a player out if he can play – maybe they think it is like this, but it is not like this. For me, it would be good if Naby would be 100 per cent fit and could play the Africa Cup of Nations, to be 100 per cent honest. But we don't know, we will see, and we need to work together with their medical department because in the end, a player who is fit – from my point of view – who can play, should play for his country.

"If he is not 100 per cent fit, he cannot play. That's how it is. It is not important whether you play for your country or your club. That's what we try to make sure. It looks good, very positive and we will see if there is a chance."
