Naby Keita went to a local game in his hometown stadium on Wednesday while wearing a Liverpool outfit. He is going back to Guinea for the break after the season.
Because Liverpool’s team is so diverse, many of Jurgen Klopp’s players will only be able to go home at the end of the season.
Mohamed Salah is on vacation with his family in Egypt, while Luis Diaz is back in Colombia getting ready for the first practice game on July 4.
Keita is currently in Guinea, but he spent this week visiting his city of Conakry and the suburb of Coleah, where he grew up, to see family, friends, and people who live there.
You might also see the 27-year-old playing in an exhibition match at the Stade Koitayah, which is where journalist Med Sesаy and Mlamine Toure sаy “it all began.”
The midfielder and his teammates wore the new Liverpool home outfit. Keita, however, wore the No. 70 shirt instead of his usual No. 8 shirt.
As Sesay wrote, “Naby Keita and his Santoba FC friends celebrated his goal this afternoon with the Zapata dance. It’s been almost ten years since he last played in his old stadium.”
Guineefoot says Keita impressed everyone by scoring twice in his first game.
He also met with Mamadi Kaba Dieng, the famous football player from Conakry who now plays for a local team called AS Kaloum Star, to talk about redoing the home of the 40-year-old former Guinea international.
After the season, Guinea played in the Africa Cup of Nations, which meant that Keita’s season ended a little later than many of his teammates’. He might not be able to come back for the start of practice on Monday because of this.
The club has not yet confirmed the group that is supposed to go to the AXA Training Center, though.
