The club said on Monday that Liverpool are in contact with authorities to bring midfielder Nabi Keita back safely after a military coup in their homeland Guinea.
The 26-year-old was supposed to participate in Guinea’s World Cup qualifier against Morocco in Conakry when a group of soldiers allegedly ousted President Alpha Condé and subsequently dissolved the government on Sunday.
“We are in constant contact with Nabi and have communicated regularly through his national team management,” Liverpool said in a statement.
“We are satisfied that he is safe and well taken care of. Clearly the situation is fluid and we will continue to have regular conversations with the relevant authorities as we work to get Naby back to Liverpool in a timely and safe manner.
While the country’s borders are reportedly closed, the Moroccan team was allowed to go home safely later on Sunday.
Keita started Liverpool’s opening two league games and was an unused substitute in the 1–1 draw against Chelsea. Liverpool next face Leeds United on 12 September after the international break.
