Jurgen Klopp confirms Naby Keita is to miss Champions League final

Naby Keita to miss Champions League final

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Naby Keita 'has no chance' of being available for Liverpool's Champions League final clash with Tottenham Hotspur.

The 24-year-old suffered an adductor injury in the Reds' 3-0 defeat against Barcelona on May 1 and has not been used since.

However, Keita travelled to Marbella with the rest of his teammates last week to take part in a warm-weather training camp, giving hope that he would be available for Saturday's showdown in Madrid.

Liverpool boss Klopp has ruled the Guinea international out of contention, though, telling reporters at Tuesday's press conference: "[There is] no chance for Naby."

Roberto Firmino is in line to start against Spurs next weekend, meanwhile, having recovered from a muscle strain that has ruled him out of Liverpool's last three matches.
