# Naby Keita set to be involved against Salzburg

Liverpool have received a welcome boost ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League clash against RB Salzburg with the news that Naby Keita will be fit for selection.

Keita has been dealing with an injury since the Community Shield and after playing an hour against MK Dons last week, he wasn’t even in the matchday squad for the weekend’s win over Sheffield United.

However, Liverpool held an open training session at Melwood on Tuesday afternoon and the Guinean took part in the session, with journalist Carl Markham confirming the news that Keita is expected to be involved in the clash against his former side.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Naby Keita’s Liverpool career so far has been very stop-start, with the midfielder battling with a number of different injuries. However, now he’s fully fit, Reds fans will be keen to see him get a run of games as he’s already proven that he can be a huge creative influence when he’s firing on all cylinders.
