Naby Keita Forced To Withdraw From International Duty With Guinea Due To Injury

RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita has pulled out of the Guinea squad with a lower back injury and the flu.

Naby Keita was substituted 68 minutes into RB Leipzig’s 2-1 win over Bayern Munich on Sunday.

The midfielder put in a man-of-the-match performance as Leipzig inflicted a first defeat on Bayern after they went unbeaten for 18 consecutive games.

He cancelled out Sandro Wagner’s lead and set up Timo Werner for the deciding goal before being withdrawn.

Leipzig, who shared an update on Keita’s fitness on their website, said he would miss the friendly against Mauritania on Saturday but did not say how long he will be sidelined.
