NABY KEITA’S season could be over after the Liverpool midfielder limped off during Wednesday’s Champions League clash in Barcelona.
Keita looked uncomfortable after a challenge in the 20th minute and made it immediately clear that he needed to come off.
Keita was visibly upset as he walked off the Nou Camp field, ignoring the option to be scootered away on Barcelona’s medical car.
Jordan Henderson was then summoned off the bench by Jurgen Klopp to shore things up.
But things didn’t go to plan as Luis Suarez fired Barcelona ahead.
The striker pounced cleverly on a fantastic pass by Jordi Alba in the 26th minute.
And he didn’t hold back with his celebrations, despite spending three-and-a-half years at Anfield.
Keita joined Liverpool from RB Leipzig last summer for £48million, although the deal had been agreed a year earlier in 2017.
He has made 33 appearances in all competitions this season.
And Keita will hoping to be fit for the return leg at home next week.
Liverpool are also still one point behind Manchester City in the Premier League title race.
And Keita will also be looking to play some part in the final two games against Newcastle and Wolves.
