Today Naby Keita started a game for the first time since December. The Guinean international’s Anfield career has been hampered by injuries, he’s only just over the latest of them. The midfielder was bright in moments; some Liverpool fans have reacted to the Naby Keita return v Fulham.
Naby Keita injury
It seems like there’s always another one around the corner for Nabs.
The ex-Leipzig man’s latest lay off was somewhat mysterious; he was ruled out of a game with a small issue and then we didn’t see him again for weeks.
The feeling is that he was kept out of the side for some time so that the medical team could ensure this would be his last lengthy spell out.
He is a player full of promise and he’s shown his quality in moments for the Reds but these moments have been few and far between due to his fitness issues.
Naby Keita return v Fulham
Naby Keita started today against Fulham, his first start since the 19th of December.
His last start game against Crystal Palace where he was part of the 7-0 demolition of Roy Hodgson’s side.
Today saw the Guinean showcase his ability in moments but not for extended periods.
He frequently tried to drive forward with the ball and play quick one twos.
However, the movement around him was disappointing and his teammates failed to give him much to work with.
Despite the abysmal result some fans have still found his performance to be a positive.
