Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed that Federico Chiesa will be included in the squad for the upcoming match. Slot stated, “For the first time he’s in team selection tomorrow,” but cautioned fans not to expect Chiesa to start, adding, “Don’t expect him to start but he can make a few minutes.”
Chiesa, a 26-year-old winger, joined Liverpool recently and is known for his pace and dribbling skills. His inclusion in the squad marks a significant step as he recovers from a previous injury.
Slot, who took over as Liverpool’s manager in May 2024, has been vocal about his strategies and plans for the team. His recent comments come after Liverpool’s first defeat under his management, reflecting his cautious approach to integrating new players.
Chiesa’s potential debut is highly anticipated, given his previous performances and the excitement surrounding his transfer to Liverpool.
