Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita hit by another injury blow

Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita has been hit by another injury blow.

The Guinea international returned from injury to feature for Liverpool in their 7-0 triumph over Crystal Palace, but was ruled out of Sunday's 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion.

Manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed Keita's injury ahead of Liverpool's game at Anfield.

Klopp told Sky Sports: "He is, again, a little bit injured, unfortunately. Nothing else to say."

After the match, the German added: “He felt a muscle again," the manager said of the No.8's absence. “I don't know exactly how long [it will be], but he was not ready for today and not for Wednesday, I think. We will see."
