Naby Keita, who joined the rest of the Guinean squad in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh on Monday night, has disclosed to the media that he is not completely fit.
The former RB Leipzig midfielder has been away from action since he suffered a groin injury in the first leg of Liverpool’s Champions League semi-final clash against Barcelona on May 1.
It was initially suggested that Keita will spend at least two months on the sideline – ruling him out of the African Cup of Nations - but the Guinean international showed rapid speed in his recovery from the thigh problem and was named in Coach Paul Put’s preliminary squad on the back of that development.
