Arne Slot has hinted on the likelihood of Federico Chiesa making his Liverpool debut in Sunday’s grudge match towards Manchester United.
The 26-year-old accomplished his switch from Juventus on Thursday for an preliminary £10m and is ready to coach along with his new teammates right this moment, though the fixture at Previous Trafford may come only a bit too quickly for him to make his Reds bow.
In his press convention on Friday morning, the LFC head coach stated of the Italy ahead (by way of Liverpool FC on YouTube): “He’s going to coach with us right this moment however there’s a much bigger likelihood that he’s not within the squad for Sunday than he’s.
“If accidents come up within the subsequent two days we would want him however I don’t count on him to be in, however I can’t assure that.”

Contemplating that Chiesa hasn’t performed in a match of any description since Italy’s defeat to Switzerland in Euro 2024 two months in the past, throwing him straight in for a Liverpool debut at Previous Trafford can be a substantial threat.
Slot hasn’t definitively shut the door on the 26-year-old that includes towards United on Sunday, and the teaching workers will little doubt pay shut consideration to how our latest signing performs in coaching right this moment. If he appears sharp, there’s an opportunity that he might no less than make the bench on the weekend.

The excellent news for the Reds is that we have already got an enviable array of attacking expertise even when the Italian isn’t fairly able to characteristic towards Erik ten Hag’s aspect, and the pinnacle coach confirmed this morning that Curtis Jones is the one harm doubt for this match.
Possibly the 45-year-old is just being coy about Chiesa’s prospects of taking part in this weekend, though we’ve seen within the early weeks of his reign that he’s fairly candid in his dealings with the media, so this most likely isn’t a bout of thoughts video games.
It seems that we’ll have to attend till after the worldwide break to witness a debut for our new signing, however hopefully an look on Sunday isn’t utterly out of the query simply but!
