Federico Chiesa

Chiesa is still building fitness and earning a larger role under Arne Slot. "So, it's a combination of reasons why he didn't play that much yet, but let's wait and see in the upcoming weeks and months if he's able to help us, because the second half of the season is even more important than the first half."

Chiesa (illness) is on the bench for Thursday's game against Leicester City.

Chiesa was absent from Liverpool's squad for Sunday's match due to illness, as confirmed by coach Arne Slot in the press conference. "Sick, he was ill. Unfortunately for him because he had some minutes against Southampton [in the Cup]. But unfortunately he was sick for the last two days (Friday and Saturday) and today (Sunday) as well so we couldn't bring him to the game," Slot said. It remains uncertain whether Chiesa has fully recovered, and he is considered doubtful for Thursday's clash with Leicester.

Chiesa (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Fulham.

Chiesa (undisclosed) is training with the squad and is in contention to be involved in Saturday's game against Fulham. Head coach Arne Slot provided an update at his pre-match press conference, stating, "We have one training session to go. Federico missed quite a lot for a long time and was ill last week, so we have to wait and see how he is exactly doing." Slot added, "I think they are [available]," referring to both Chiesa and Diogo Jota.
