The Reds no. 8’s time on Merseyside has been plagued with setbacks and issues that have denied the former Bundesliga star a real run in the team despite joining in 2018, with records from Transfermarkt showing that Keita has already missed 27 games in total for Liverpool in two years due to injuries.

Here’s what a few Liverpool supporters had to say on Twitter about Keita’s fitness update…
