Federico Chiesa's Ongoing Absences Frustrate Liverpool

Since his transfer from Juventus to Liverpool last summer, Federico Chiesa has struggled to make a significant impact. The Italian midfielder has featured in only three matches, accumulating a mere 78 minutes on the pitch, primarily due to persistent muscular injuries.

Fans were hopeful for Chiesa's return in the upcoming match against Girona. However, reports indicate that he was unexpectedly absent from the team's final training session before their departure to Spain, with sources citing illness as the cause.

Despite this setback, manager Arne Slot received positive news with the return of goalkeeper Alisson and forward Diogo Jota to training after their respective injury layoffs.
