Liverpool fans are excited about Naby Keita’s potential Reds return
A number of Liverpool fans are excited about the potential return of Naby Keita after Jurgen Klopp revealed he is closing in on a comeback.
It’s fair to say that Keita has largely underwhelmed in a Reds shirt to date, considering the hype that surrounded his arrival. In the eyes of some, Liverpool were signing one of the best midfielders in Europe, but he hasn’t come close to hitting those heights.
There have been plenty of good performances from the Guinean, but too many patchy showings have also been thrown in, and injuries have continually stunted his progress.
Keita was playing superbly in the recent 3-0 win over Leicester City at Anfield, only to once again leave the pitch prematurely. The 25-year-old hasn’t featured since, and with Liverpool hampered by other injuries, they desperately need him back.
The hope is that he will be back for the weekend visit of Wolves in the Premier League, although he hasn’t completely been ruled out of tonight’s Champions League clash with Ajax.
These Liverpool supporters took to Twitter to reveal their happiness at Keita being close to returning.
Keita could be back for Wolves. That, like any other player returning, is huge. https://t.co/bpMEqPmeqI

Klopp in presser seemed to indicate Keita was touch and go on whether he'd be involved vs Ajax but little surprise they're being careful. It would be a big boost if he's available for Wolves. Klopp also said Shaq and Trent are getting close. Heaving those 3 back will be big. https://t.co/sDamhIsW2I

Hard to understand fully what Klopp meant but it seemed like an indication that Naby was being checked for tomorrow, so should be back soon and that Trent (reading between lines) could be ready for the weekend, Shaq also.
Huge if that happens, that's exactly what the squad needs

The Naby comment was intriguing but I doubt he’s available for tomorrow. Will be huge if he can be a squad option for Wolves, along with Trent
