Federico Chiesa
28-Year-Old
Liverpool
Premier
Set to play FA Cup match
Chiesa (undisclosed) is training and is an option for Saturday's match against Manchester City, according to manager Arne Slot. "And Federico indeed came back from the national team, where he wasn't able to play. But he trained with us today, so he will train with us tomorrow again and will be available for the game on the weekend."
ANALYSIS
Chiesa came back from his national team after a slight injury but is already on the right side of fitness, as the attacker looks to already be cleared for Saturday. This comes after he took the field for training following his return to the club, having to watch the unfortunate end of Italy's World Cup dreams from in Liverpool. His addition gives the club a useful super sub in the attack, but he is unlikely to make much of a push for starting time, only starting once in 23 appearances this season while bagging two goals, although he has started in both FA Cup appearances thus far.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Will be allowed to leave
Liverpool are open to letting Chiesa leave the club this summer, according to CaughtOffside.
ANALYSIS
The Reds are prepared to let Chiesa depart the club in the summer, but this time he'd be leaving on a permanent transfer rather than on loan. The 28-year-old hasn't been able to adjust to the Premier League, and at this point, it seems all parties involved need a fresh start. Chiesa is keen on a move back to Serie A for the 2026/27 campaign.
