It is uncertain when Naby Keita will return after suffering a “crazy” injury out of nothing.

Naby Keita was expected to be part of Man United’s Liverpool matchday squad but is now set to face another injury-related dismissal after succumbing to a problem ‘out of nowhere’

The No.8’s future has been a hot topic of discussion after reports in Germany claimed he was unhappy with his situation at Anfield.

It was rejected on Merseyside, but his absence from Old Trafford has shed light on his future after a trouble-free training all week.

Following the team’s dismissal on Monday, the club informed reporters that Keita was injured, leading to speculation whether it was a convenience or just another untimely setback.

Sky Deutschland’s Florian Plettenberg – a source close to Keita’s agent Bjorn Bezemer and the first to reveal Keita was “unhappy” – reported during the match that it was not a smokescreen and that Keita had reason to “hurt”.

Jurgen Klopp then offered an update after the defeat, first telling beINSPORTS: “Out of nowhere, Naby [dropped from the team], crazy.”

In his post-match press conference, the manager added: “He got injured yesterday. He needs to be checked more, but it doesn’t look like he will be in training tomorrow. “We need more evaluations. He missed yesterday, today, and how much longer, I don’t know. ”

GOAL’s Neil Jones has since reported that “there are concerns about the gravity” of Keita’s problem, which only exacerbates Liverpool’s woes following their 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford.

It is a legitimate injury and while the problems seem to multiply, it is another blow for Klopp, who, with just nine days from the end of the transfer window, sees increasing requests for reinforcements.

Including Keita, the Reds missed 10 seniors Monday night due to injury and disqualification.
