Naby Keita has insisted that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp does not have favourites within the Reds squad.

The midfielder has struggled with injury since his big-money move to Merseyside but appears to have settled in well off the field.

Keita credits Klopp for creating a good atmosphere within the squad, insisting that he treats all his players equally.

"I don't think he has any particular favourites or he has picked anyone out for a special mention, he communicates very freely and openly with all the players," Keita told Sky Sports News.

"He likes to laugh and joke around, he has a very light relationship with all the players."

Liverpool's next game is at home to Arsenal in the EFL Cup where Keita is likely to be handed a start, with Klopp expected to rotate his side.
