Liverpool's Naby Keita withdrawn from Guinea squad for Comoros and Chile friendlies

Guinea midfielder Naby Keita has been withdrawn from the 23-man squad set to face Comoros and Chile in upcoming international friendly matches.

The Syli Nationale play Comoros in France on October 12, before meeting South American giants Chile three days later.

Keita, who is coming back from injury, is now out of the squad in order for him to rest after being initially included by new French coach Didier Six.

He will now be replaced by Kamso Mara of Czech Liga side Slovan Liberec and becomes the second Liverpool player to be rested during this international period after Egypt’s Mohamed Salah.
