Naby Keita has checked back in at Liverpool for medical tests after suffering an injury blow while on Africa Cup of Nations duty.
The Liverpool midfielder was an unused substitute in Guinea's victory over Burundi on Sunday in Egypt after picking up a thigh injury in a 1-0 loss to Nigeria last Wednesday.
And following the setback, Keita has reported back to Merseyside as he looks to find out the extent of his injury.
After their comfortable 2-0 win against Burundi, Guinea disclosed that Keita had left the camp for further medical consultation at Liverpool.
'A match that Guinea could play without Naby Keita. Injured against Nigeria, the European champion leaves Egypt tonight for medical consultation in England,' read a statement from the country's FA.
'The player should still return to Egypt for the rest of the competition.'
Liverpool will be cautious about Keita's latest injury after he also missed the Champions League final with an adductor injury.

It's not 100% confirmed that they qualify, there's still few games to be played and a number of permutations of results that will eliminate them
they have already qualified

Injury prone. Liverpool should try and get him relieved from all his international duties, so that he can focus on his fitness and conditioning.

I mean surely if he's to consult one of our Dr's we'd fly ours out to him so he can be better rested whatever the status of injury and less fatigued from travelling?

I wonder if we as the club have the power to veto his return. Naby needs to hit the ground running this season as he hasn't had the impact that the other signings have had. I get there has been injuries and this will only exacerbate the situation. It is like Sturridge all over again. Get injured, get fit, England call up, get injured...

Naby Keita sent home by Guinea. It was a big risk sending him to Egypt in the first place personally

Liverpool should have the last say in the fitness go ahead, as they pay his salary. Playing for your country is a great reward, but the club pays the bills( fancy cars).
