Arne Slot takes stock of Federico Chiesa

Federico Chiesa's adventure with Liverpool has still not really started. Absent for several matches due to injury, the Italian currently has no concrete return date. “It's always hard to say because it's a roller coaster ride: sometimes he's there with us, training for a few days, then he goes out again due to injury. So I don't want to spend days or weeks on it because I think we just need to make sure he's in the best shape possible and not put pressure on him by setting dates.”explained Arne Slot at a press conference this Tuesday.

A delicate situation to manage for the Dutch technician, but who accepts it without flinching. “We knew that in advance, so we knew we had to be very careful and adapt as much as possible to his individual needs, but that wasn't the case. So we're trying to find the right way to grow it without overloading it, and it's been difficult so far, but I have full confidence that it will happen.assured the Reds coach on the eve of the match against Brighton.
