Werder Bremen managing director has spoken out about Naby Keita after the former Liverpool midfielder was left out of the matchday squad against Bayer Leverkusen
Former Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita refused to play for Werder Bremen against Bayer Leverkusen in the match that saw Xabi Alonso's men secure a famous Bundesliga title win on Sunday.
Injuries were a consistent theme of Keita’s time at Liverpool and he has struggled for opportunities with Werder Bremen this term. A mix of fitness problems and being away on Africa Cup of Nations duty have limited Keita to just one league start and five overall appearances for the club.READ MORE: Jurgen Klopp reign is coming full circle after what Liverpool supporters did against Crystal Palace
