Guinea coach Paul Put has confirmed that Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita stands a chance to play against Egypt in an international friendly match on June 16.
Back in May, the 24-year-old midfielder suffered a groin injury during a Uefa Champions League fixture against Barcelona that ruled him out of action for the remainder of the season.
Despite worrying updates about Keita's chances to feature at the Afcon, he was named in Guinea's 25-man provisional Afcon squad which he has justified with his timely return from injury.
