According to reports, the girl was struck by the player’s Mercedes on Thursday evening after training, but it is unclear whether he was actually driving the car.

Keita, who is on loan from Birmingham City, has changed his version of the incident a couple of times.

The police report states that he first claimed to be driving, then changed his story to say he was in the passenger seat, and afterwards said that he had loaned his car to a friend.

The girl has been released from the hospital and is expected to be fully recovered in two weeks.
