Naby Keita will not be available for Liverpool’s FA Cup third-round clash at home to Everton on Sunday due to a groin injury, Jurgen Klopp has confirmed.
The 24-year-old Guinea international was set to start in his side’s 2-0 Premier League win over Sheffield United on Thursday evening, but was replaced by James Milner in the starting XI after going down in the warm-up.
Klopp says he doesn’t know the full extent of Keita’s injury yet – but he won’t play any part in the Merseyside derby.
