Luis Suarez scored Barca’s first goal of the night almost immediately after Keita’s withdrawal, with Lionel Messi adding a second half brace to secure the hosts an emphatic lead heading into next week’s second leg.Keita was later assessed by Liverpool’s medical staff, and Jurgen Klopp confirmed the midfielder faces two months out with an adductor injury.“It was really unlucky,” the German said in a press conference. “Bad news. High grade adductor injury. The tendon is ruptured.“Will keep him out for at least two months. “Bad news for us and for Guinea with the Africa Cup of Nations coming up. Not nice.”Liverpool’s Premier League season comes to an end next weekend with the visit of Wolves, with Saturday’s trip to Newcastle and Barcelona’s return match at Anfield scheduled to take place beforehand.Should they complete a remarkable turnaround against the LaLiga giants, the Reds will also have to play the Champions League on June 1.
