Liverpool have had awful luck with injuries this season. Jürgen Klopp must be wondering who has the voodoo doll and what their terms are. As we head into a crunch clash on Wednesday night the Reds are sweating over the fitness of a few players. Jürgen Klopp issued a Naby Keita injury update, he might be ready for the Spurs game.
Liverpool fitness woes
This season has seen the Reds’ ravaged by injuries.
A combination of bad luck and a hectic schedule has seen the squad dropping like flies.
Virgil van Dijk is out for the season, Joe Gomez will be lucky to appear again this term.
Thiago has been absent for most of the campaign whilst Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has only just returned to the matchday squad.
Naby Keita was missing from the squad at the weekend with a ‘fitness issue’.
Naby Keita injury update
The Reds take on Spurs this Wednesday night with both sides knowing a win will give them the lead at the top of the table.
As it stand the two sides are tied on points at the top.
Ahead of the game, Jürgen Klopp issued an encouraging Naby Keita injury update, telling a pre-match press conference:
“Naby maybe [back]. Was involved in extended warming up. Another session today, we will make a decision.”
What RTK has to say
This Naby Keita injury update is a potentially massive boost for Liverpool.
The Reds could be short of numbers at the back and that could mean Jordan Henderson dropping into the defence.
If the skipper is put into the back line then having Naby Keita in the middle could prove decisive.
The Guinean at his best is unplayable, he races about the midfield winning the ball and driving forward.
However, he is too often injured to have an extended run in the side.
Fingers crossed he’s fit and fighting for the Spurs visit.
