Naby Keita’s Struggles Continue at Werder Bremen After Leaving Liverpool
Naby Keita, the former Liverpool midfielder, has reportedly failed to impress his new club Werder Bremen after joining them on a free transfer in the summer. The 28-year-old has been plagued by injuries, poor form, and disciplinary issues, and has not lived up to the expectations of the Bundesliga side.
Keita’s Injury Woes and Lack of Game Time
Keita’s career at Werder Bremen got off to a bad start when he suffered a groin injury during a pre-season friendly in July. He missed the first two months of the season and made his debut in October. However, he has not been able to establish himself in the starting line-up and has only made six appearances in all competitions, scoring one goal.
Keita’s lack of game time has also affected his chances of playing for his national team, Guinea. He was left out of the squad for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in November and has not featured for his country since June.
Keita’s Attitude Problems and Disappointment for Bremen
Keita’s injury problems are not the only reason for his poor performance at Werder Bremen. According to reports, he has also been causing trouble off the pitch, by arriving late to team meetings, skipping sponsorship events, and showing a lack of commitment and professionalism.
Keita’s attitude has frustrated his teammates, coaches, and club officials, who expected him to be a leader and a star player for the team. Werder Bremen signed him on a three-year contract, hoping that he would rediscover his form and potential that he showed at RB Leipzig, where he scored 17 goals and provided 15 assists in 71 games.
However, Keita has not been able to replicate his success at Liverpool or Leipzig, and has been a disappointment for Werder Bremen, who are currently struggling in the relegation zone of the Bundesliga.
Keita’s Future and Possible Options
Keita’s future at Werder Bremen looks uncertain, as he has not been able to justify his high wages and reputation. He may face competition from new signings in the January transfer window, or he may be loaned out or sold to another club.
Keita may have some options in the Premier League, where he still has some admirers. He may also have some interest from other European leagues, such as France, Italy, or Spain. However, he will have to improve his fitness, form, and attitude, if he wants to revive his career and prove his critics wrong.
