Liverpool have announced their 23-man squad for the upcoming Champions League match against AC Milan at the San Siro, including Italian winger Federico Chiesa. This update was shared on the clubâs official X (formerly Twitter) account after Chiesa participated in the senior team’s training session earlier.
Chiesa, a former Juventus player, has yet to debut for Liverpool under Arne Slot, a team already rich in attacking talent with stars like Mohamed Salah, Luis DĂaz, Darwin NĂșñez, and Cody Gakpo. This depth has kept the 26-year-old winger waiting for his opportunity.
Liverpool, coming off a disappointing Premier League performance against Nottingham Forest, are keen to bounce back and regain momentum in this crucial European fixture. The big question is whether Chiesa will make his long-awaited debut at the San Siro. Given the competition for places, he may initially only get a brief appearance off the bench, providing a glimpse of what he might bring to the squad in the future.
On the other side, AC Milan, under new manager Paulo Fonseca, have struggled with only one win, two draws, and a loss in their opening four Serie A matches, putting pressure on Fonseca. Liverpool will look to exploit Milanâs current form and make a statement in Europe.
Liverpool’s traveling squad includes key players such as Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima KonatĂ©, Andy Robertson, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, and the attacking trio of Salah, NĂșñez, and Gakpo, alongside Chiesa.
As the match approaches, all eyes will be on whether Chiesa gets the chance to make his debut and how Liverpool responds to their recent setback. The fixture at the San Siro promises to be an exciting and critical clash for both sides.
