Naby Keita, former Liverpool midfielder now playing for Werder Bremen, vehemently denied accusations made by the club’s director claiming he left before a match. Despite not being selected for the starting lineup, Keita took to social media to defend his professionalism, expressing dedication to the club and its supporters.
The midfielder, who joined Bremen last summer, faced uncertainties about his future after being excluded from the squad for a crucial match against Bayer Leverkusen. However, Keita’s response on Instagram emphasized his unwavering commitment to the team and his determination to contribute positively, refuting any claims of misconduct.
Keita has now posted to social media: “Since the first day I signed for this fantastic club, I have always worked selflessly and professionally.
“My only desire has always been to help the club and bring joy to the many fans, especially at a time when the results are not what we would like them to be.
“Since the beginning of my career, I have never had problems with discipline, regardless of where I have been, and I have always tried to be a role model.
“I will therefore not accept that someone destroys my reputation. To the fans: You must know that I fight every training session so that I can make you happy every weekend.”
Despite the controversy, Werder Bremen suffered a significant defeat against Leverkusen, losing 5-0. Keita’s absence from the squad has been a recurring theme throughout the season, mainly due to injury setbacks. His challenging debut season at Bremen mirrors his injury-prone stint at Liverpool, where he struggled to maintain consistent appearances.
Keita’s resolve to overcome challenges and make a meaningful impact for Werder Bremen remains steadfast, despite the recent controversy and ongoing fitness concerns.
