Naby Keita has given Liverpool a fresh injury scare on the eve of the Super Cup.
Keita limped out of the Reds’ training session at Istanbul’s Vodafone Park ahead of the showdown with Premier League rivals Chelsea on Wednesday evening.
The Guinea international recently returned from a thigh problem picked up during the Champions League semi-final first leg with Barcelona in May.
He also featured for his homeland in their Africa Cup of Nations campaign over the summer despite Jurgen Klopp’s initial forecast that he would be sidelined.
However Keita suffered a relapse of the injury at the tournament in Egypt but recovered to feature in this month’s Community Shield defeat to Manchester City.
Anfield medics accompanied the 24-year-old as he headed down the tunnel in Istanbul for treatment on what is understood to be a muscle strain.
Liverpool will assess Keita before deciding on his inclusion against the Londoners.
