A former Liverpool player who left the club last summer is 'annoying' his new team's hierarchy, vindicating Jurgen Klopp's decision to get rid of him.

A slew of players departed Anfield last summer as the likes of Jordan Henderson, Roberto Firmino, Fabinho and James Milner called time on their association with Liverpool.

Not to mention Naby Keita, who returned to Germany following the expiration of his Liverpool contract.

He joined the Premier League giants from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2017 for £48 million.

Keita left Merseyside last summer after making 129 appearances for the club.

He penned a deal at Werder Bremen but has only featured three times this season.

His limited game-time at Bremen could be due to his off-field attitude, according to a report in Germany.

Per DeichStube, Keita has failed to gain the trust of the club's hierarchy due to his behaviour and punctuality.

He's believed to have turned up late to team meetings and has also not attended sponsorships events.

Like his spell at Anfield, Keita has been plagued with injuries this season. But Bremen manager Ole Werner has still not picked the player despite him returning to fitness.

It's also suggested that Werner is leaving the 28-year-old out in preparation for his imminent departure for next year's Africa Cup of Nations, with the Guinea midfielder set to represent his national team.

However, Bremen's director of football Clemens Fritz referenced Keita's fitness amid the reported off-field issues.

"For us in the last few weeks, the absolute priority was to get him fit and bring him to a good level," he said. "That was successful.

"'Naby is stable and certainly a candidate for action against Leipzig. But the coach will decide for how long.

"In training you can definitely see that he is getting better and better."
