Liverpool manager Arne Slot has clarified the absence of Federico Chiesa from the team’s recent squad selection. According to Slot, the decision was made to focus on Chiesa’s match fitness, opting for additional training sessions over his inclusion in the squad.
Chiesa, a 27-year-old winger known for his pace and dribbling skills, joined Liverpool from Juventus. His style of play is characterised by his ability to cut inside from the wings and deliver precise crosses. Despite his potential impact on the field, the club is prioritising his physical readiness before reintroducing him to competitive matches.
Slot’s comments suggest a strategic approach to Chiesa’s integration into the team, ensuring he reaches optimal fitness levels before participating in upcoming fixtures.
