For Werder comeback: Keita cancels international trip
Werder Bremen's top transfer Naby Keita will not travel to the national soccer team of his home country Guinea during the two-week international break, but will instead work on his Bundesliga comeback in Bremen. This was announced by his club on Monday. The 28-year-old new signing from Liverpool FC injured his thigh in the 3-2 defeat against 1899 Hoffenheim at the beginning of October and has not been available to the club since.
From Bremen's point of view, this international withdrawal is "beneficial", said Werder coach Ole Werner. "We hope that Naby can make the most of the break." Bremen's aim is to be able to field their most prominent player again on November 25 at home against league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. He will miss the Guinea national team's World Cup qualifiers against Uganda and Botswana in the coming days.
Naby Keita's decision to skip Guinea's World Cup qualifiers allows him to focus on his Bundesliga comeback with Werder Bremen, especially considering his recent thigh injury sustained during a match against 1899 Hoffenheim. Werder Bremen hopes to have their star player back in form for the home match against league leaders Bayer Leverkusen on November 25.
