Overview
- Arne Slot reiterated that every player can start but stressed Liverpool have many options in Federico Chiesa’s position, offering no commitment to promote him.
- Chiesa’s latest impact came from the bench with a lung-busting goal-line block to preserve a 1-1 draw against Sunderland.
- He has started only twice this season in the EFL Cup and has been limited to substitute cameos in the Premier League and Champions League.
- With Mohamed Salah recently benched and set to leave for the Africa Cup of Nations, local analysis argues Chiesa is the obvious short‑term solution on the right.
- Yahoo Sports, citing Il Tempo and Siamo La Roma, reports Roma have made inquiries about a January deal, with prior links also noting AC Milan and Inter interest.
