Former Liverpool player chosen as biggest letdown of the Bundesliga season according to other players.

Naby Keita's first season with Werder Bremen has been nothing short of a nightmare. The former Liverpool midfielder, who joined the German club on a free transfer last summer, was voted as the most disappointing player of the Bundesliga campaign by his fellow professionals.

There was a lot of excitement surrounding Keita's move to Bremen, with many expecting him to replicate his impressive performances from his time at RB Leipzig. After all, it was his outstanding displays at Leipzig that led Liverpool to trigger his £48m release clause in 2017.

However, things did not go as planned for the 29-year-old. His five-year stint in England was marred by injuries and he struggled to secure a spot in Jurgen Klopp's starting lineup. And unfortunately, his struggles continued after his move to Bremen.

Keita has only managed to make five appearances in the Bundesliga this season, with just one of those being a start. In fact, he hasn't even stepped onto the field since March, due to a combination of illness and injury.

To make matters worse, Keita's attitude has also come under scrutiny. In April, he refused to be a part of the matchday squad for a game against Bayer Leverkusen and has been suspended by the club ever since. The reason for his refusal remains unclear, but it has not gone down well with the club.

In fact, Keita was voted as the "most disappointing player" in an annual survey conducted by German publication Kicker, with 227 Bundesliga players participating in the vote. This only adds to the growing disappointment surrounding his performance this season.

The situation reached its breaking point when Werder Bremen announced that they have suspended Keita until the end of the season, as well as imposing a substantial fine on him. Clemens Fritz, the club's head of football, expressed their disappointment in Keita's behavior, stating that they will not tolerate such actions that put the team's interests at risk.

As the season nears its end, Werder Bremen needs to focus on their remaining games and stick together as a team. Keita's actions have left the club with no choice but to take this tough stance, in order to maintain a united front. It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold, but one thing is certain - Keita's first season at Bremen has been a huge disappointment.
