Liverpool handed major boost ahead of Brighton clash, Klopp will be buzzing – TBR View
Liverpool will be hoping to build on their impressive form and make it five wins in a row in today’s Premier League encounter.
Jurgen Klopp’s Reds host Brighton at Anfield on the back of progress in the Carabao Cup and, of course, last week’s 5-0 hammering of Manchester United.
After that game, it looked as though Naby Keita could’ve been set for a lengthy injury layoff.
The 26-year-old was taken off on a stretcher in the second half following a reckless lunge from Paul Pogba.
Thankfully, Liverpool assistant boss Pep Lijnders confirmed in midweek that Keita only suffered bruising from Pogba’s heavy tackle.
The Guinea international was then pictured in training for the Reds, and on Friday, Klopp said his player looked “ready” for Saturday.
“Naby Keita looks good,” he at his pre-match press conference ahead of the Brighton match.
“We were all surprised, but he was obviously lucky so I think he will be ready.”
Keita has taken a while to really hit form at Liverpool, but this season he has been superb for the Reds.
Indeed, he arguably delivered his best performance to date for the Anfield outfit last week.
Given how important Keita is becoming to Liverpool, Klopp will surely be buzzing that he escaped serious injury.
Brighton beat the Reds at Anfield last season, but few will tip them to get anything from the game this time round.
Liverpool are nigh-on unstoppable at present, picking apart top teams with ease – so Graham Potter’s charges have a tough afternoon coming up.
