Klopp will be without Keita against Leipzig

Jurgen Klopp

says that

will rest despite returning from his injury and will miss

the Reds’

UCL match against RB Leipzig.

“Naby is no longer injured but he’s not fit yet,”

Klopp said

. “He was in training yesterday but it’s not sufficient yet. We will be away for two days and he will be in training; it’s better than flying with us. Of course Naby would have liked to be there when it’s against Leipzig.

“He has had some very great spells but obviously you have to say he has had too many injuries as well, which hasn’t helped a lot. But he has played some really great games for us and scored important goals, has contributed to our success last year; he was always involved despite the injuries.

“These were unfortunate moments when you look at his injuries, it was just minor things that [ruled] him out from the team. But he has got an excellent perspective and is a great player.

“In terms of injuries, we all have to go through these difficulties and once that’s behind you, we’ll have another absolutely great player.”

Fabinho and Milner have traveled with the team, but their presence in the starting lineup will be decided based on their fitness.
