Demme was pictured hobbling from the pitch with the support of coaching staff and is said to have been taken to hospital in Innsbruck for assessment.

Leipzig boss was so angry with the uncalled for tackle that he stopped the practice session and order the team to head back to the hotel.

However later, Leipzig stated that the 25-year-old has not sustained any serious damage.

“Let off for Diego Demme. He suffered a bruised knee from a tackle in training, but his meniscus & ligaments are fine. Get well soon, Diego!” the Bundesliga club confirmed on Twitter.

There were also reports that the former Borussia Dortmund boss is ready to wait until the next summer transfer window to finally rope in Keita.

But Leipzig sporting director Ralph Rangnick has accentuated that the club not sell any of their star players and are trying to convince Keita to sign a new contract.

Leipzig bosses are not willing to sell any of their key players.

Meanwhile, the midfielder’s social media activity has handed a huge boost to Liverpool fans.
