Naby Keita limps off with thigh injury whilst playing for RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita, who has already agreed to join Liverpool this summer, was forced to limp out of Leipzig’s home clash against Bayer Leverkusen with a thigh injury after a nasty collision with opposition goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

The game was a big one for both sides as they looked to secure a top four finish and it was Leverkusen who came out on top, winning 4-1 away from home.

Keita was forced off with around 15 minutes to go with the score already at 4-1 after he and Leno collided. He looked to be in some discomfort as he hobbled off, although he did manage to walk straight down the tunnel.

The result of the game saw Leverkusen leapfrog Leipzig and Frankfurt and move into fourth place in the Bundesliga, whilst RB now find themselves occupying a Europa League place rather than a Champions League place with just five league games left to play.
