Liverpool’s Naby Keita set to be in contention for Aston Villa clash

Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita is set to be available for the clash against Aston Villa at the weekend despite picking up a knock against Arsenal on Wednesday night.

According to the reliable LFC Globe, Keita is set to be available for the game despite the injury, with Jurgen Klopp revealing that the player felt a slight issue after he slipped and stretched a muscle.

The player is therefore set to feature against Aston Villa, whilst also being available for the Champions League clash with Genk and the huge league matchup with Manchester City.

This could be a blow for Villa, but Keita hasn’t been a consistent starter for the Reds recently.

Keita might not play anyway, but he does represent solid depth for the Reds.

Despite this, it is a huge positive for Liverpool that Keita will be fit for the game, especially with the great depth he offers the Reds in midfield.
