Liverpool supporters are still awaiting the debut of summer signing Federico Chiesa, who has not yet featured in the 2024/25 campaign.
His absence is understandable given his extended involvement in the European Championship with Italy earlier this year, which has delayed his competitive minutes for the Reds.
The highly anticipated arrival of the former Juventus star has yet to materialise on the field, leaving fans eager for his first appearance.

However, Liverpool’s recent 1-0 loss at home to Nottingham Forest may prompt manager Arne Slot to consider introducing Chiesa to the fold soon, especially with a critical Champions League clash against AC Milan approaching.
This match could present the perfect opportunity for Chiesa to showcase his skills and make an immediate impact on the team.

This news is a relief for Liverpool, as there are no fresh injury concerns regarding the Italian winger, increasing the likelihood of his involvement in the upcoming European fixture.
With Liverpool in need of a response after their defeat to Nottingham Forest, Chiesa’s creativity and attacking prowess could be exactly what the team needs.
Fans will be eagerly watching to see if the talented winger makes his debut and delivers a performance that justifies the excitement surrounding his signing.
