Klopp confirms Naby Keita will miss Liverpool’s trip to Tottenham Hotspur

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp revealed that midfielder Naby Keita will not feature in Saturday’s Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Guinea international’s absence was confirmed on Friday at the German tactician’s pre-match press-conference before encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Klopp also ruled the African’s teammate James Milner out of the game against Jose Mourinho’s men.

The pair are likely to miss January 19’s fixture with Manchester United at Anfield.

“James and Naby are not available. Both are muscle injuries, different and for different people, so we see how quick they will be,” Klopp told reporters on Friday.
