Liverpool star Naby Keita to miss training with neck injury ahead of showdown with Manchester United

Guinea star missed the midweek win over Manchester City after sleeping awkwardly on the plane

NABY KEITA will miss training for the next couple of days after suffering with a neck injury.

The midfielder sat out of Liverpool’s midweek win over Manchester City and is a doubt for Saturday’s showdown with United.
A statement from Liverpool read: “Naby Keita is set to sit out training for the next couple of days as a precautionary measure as he recovers from a sore neck.

“Keita will be afforded time to recover by not taking part in the immediate sessions, although he has not been ruled out of the fixture with Manchester United in Michigan at this stage.”

Before the clash against Pep Guardiola’s side, Klopp revealed that the 23-year-old’s injury slept awkwardly on the plane.

The Anfield boss said: “He has a stiff neck. It was a comfortable plane when we flew, as you can imagine.
“But it wasn’t comfortable enough [for him] as he has a stiff neck and also slept a little bit like this [awkwardly].

“Now he cannot move it properly. It’s not too cool, but it’s pretty much all.”

Klopp will be gunning for glory against the Red Devils after Jose Mourinho labelled Liverpool’s summer spending spree as “funny”.

Keita, who signed for the Reds from RB Leipzig for £52.75m, is one of four new faces to join Liverpool this summer.
