UCL: Federico Chiesa to Miss Liverpool's Champions League Clash with Real Madrid

Liverpool's Squad Concerns: Federico Chiesa to Miss Real Madrid Clash

“But you can see that he is starting to be involved in training...”

Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirms Federico Chiesa's absence from the squad to face Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed that Federico Chiesa will not be part of the squad to face Real Madrid in today's Champions League match at Anfield. “Federico Chiesa is not in the squad to face Real Madrid,” Slot announced. Despite this setback, Slot remains optimistic about Chiesa's progress, noting, “But you can see that he is starting to be involved in training.”

Chiesa's absence is a significant concern for Liverpool, given his potential impact on the pitch. The Italian winger has struggled with injuries since joining the club, making only three appearances so far ². Slot attributes Chiesa's difficulties to his lack of pre-season training and the intense nature of the Premier League.

As Liverpool prepares to face Real Madrid, Slot's update on Chiesa's fitness will undoubtedly impact the team's strategy. With Chiesa out of the squad, Liverpool will need to rely on other players to step up and fill the void.
