Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita has reportedly returned to England to receive further examination on the thigh injury he sustained while representing Guinea at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The Reds midfielder picked up the knock during Guinea's 1-0 defeat to Nigeria on Wednesday and was replaced by Lass Bangoura after 70 minutes.
After sustaining injuries to his thigh and shin in the loss, the 24-year-old was left on the bench for the crucial group game against Burundi, which Guinea won 2-0.
Keita was reportedly consulted by a Liverpool doctor before the Sunday's encounter and it is now claimed that he has since left Egypt to be assessed further.
