Werder Bremen has taken strict action against Naby Keita, suspending him from the club and banning him from its facilities. The former Liverpool midfielder allegedly refused to board the team bus ahead of a crucial match against Bayer Leverkusen.
Keita’s absence from the squad raised eyebrows, with the club asserting that he declined to travel to Leverkusen upon learning he wouldn’t start the game. This incident marks a turbulent season for Keita, who has struggled with injuries and limited appearances since joining Werder Bremen.
In response to Keita’s actions, Werder Bremen’s sporting director, Clemens Fritz, emphasized the severity of the situation, stating that such behavior cannot be tolerated. The club announced Keita’s suspension until the end of the season, accompanied by a significant fine.
However, Keita denied any wrongdoing, asserting his commitment to the club and its supporters. Despite his tumultuous tenure in Germany, Keita remains determined to prove himself and contribute positively to the team’s performance.
As Werder Bremen navigates the remaining Bundesliga fixtures, Keita’s suspension adds further complexity to their season. The team faces Stuttgart in their upcoming match, aiming to overcome this setback and focus on their objectives.
