KEITA INJURY : GUINEA FEDERATION BLAST SUPER EAGLES PLAYERS
Guinea star player Naby Keita is
doubtful for their crucial last group game at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations
against Burundi on Sunday after he suffered an injury in the very physical
encounter against the Super Eagles.
Keita's ailment is a recurrence
of a groin injury he suffered during the semifinal of the Champions League
against Barcelona on May 1.
In the first half, the former RB
Leipzig midfielder was in pains after a clash of legs with Kenneth Omeruo and
he went down again after a challenge by Wilfred Ndidi before he subbed out in
the 70th minute.
In a statement, the Guinean
Football Federation have blasted the Super Eagles players for injuring Keita.
''The victim of several blows
against Nigeria, Naby Keita saw the doctor on Thursday,'' FEGUIFOOT stated.
''Although there is no serious injury, Naby is very uncertain for the match against Burundi.
''He was left at the hotel to continue receiving treatment, while the rest of the squad trained on Friday.''
