Naby Keita

Ex-Salzburger causes a scandal – threat of sacking!

Championship party at Leverkusen after the 5:0 against Werder Bremen, scandal at the North Germans! The reason: ex-Salzburg player Naby Keita refused to travel with the team to Leverkusen!

The 29-year-old Guinean didn't get on the bus for the away game after being told he wouldn't be starting. "We will talk to him and his advisor tomorrow about the consequences and the next steps," said Bremen's head of soccer Clemens Fritz.

Keita is now at risk of being sacked for good. Especially as he has long since been labeled a transfer flop after just one appearance in the starting eleven. Bremen, in twelfth place, are five points clear of the relegation places.
