Liverpool star again not spotted in Dubai training session but midfielder rejoins group

Naby Keita has been spotted back in Liverpool training.

The midfielder is on his way back from an injury and hasn't played a competitive game since the Community Shield defeat of Manchester City in July.

Keita made a return to action in last Sunday's 3-1 loss to Lyon in the Dubai Super Cup. He came off the bench to feature in the final 30 minutes of the clash.

But on Tuesday, the Guinea international was not spotted in Liverpool's training session in the Middle East.

That may well have been precautionary given how long Keita, 27, has been out, though. The Reds won't want to risk the former RB Leipzig midfielder suffering another issue.

And today, Keita was back out with his team-mates as Liverpool prepare to face AC Milan on Friday.

Darwin Nunez returned to the squad earlier this week after being given time off after Uruguay exited the World Cup. Harvey Elliott also trained again after coming off with a knock in the loss to Lyon.

In addition, there was a visit from captain Jordan Henderson, who's now been given some downtime following England's elimination in the quarter-finals at the hands of a 2-1 loss to France.

But Curtis Jones again could not be seen in training. Last week, the academy product spent one session running alone, while he was not involved in the game against Lyon.

Jones - who signed a new deal last month until the summer of 2027 - has suffered with a tibia issue throughout the campaign. The midfielder, 21, has been restricted to just seven appearances.
