Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita’s recovery from a thigh problem is ahead of schedule and could be back in time for the Africa Cup of Nations, which starts on June 21. However, Keita is unlikely to be fit enough for the Champions League final against Tottenham on June 1. “Naby is, I would say, a bit ahead of schedule, but that doesn’t mean anything for the final,” manager Jurgen Klopp said. For me, it would be good if Naby would be 100 per cent fit and could play the Africa Cup of Nations, to be honest. If he is not 100 per cent fit, he cannot play.
