Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed that Federico Chiesa will not be part of the squad for the upcoming match against Real Madrid. Slot mentioned that while Chiesa is not ready for selection, he has begun participating in training sessions.
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 wing and create scoring opportunities. His absence will be felt as Liverpool prepare for the challenging fixture against the Spanish giants.
Slot’s announcement comes amidst a series of updates regarding Liverpool’s key players, including recent discussions about Mohamed Salah’s future at the club and praise for Luis Díaz’s contributions. The Liverpool manager has been vocal about the team’s dynamics and player performances in recent weeks.
