Very few teams in Europe look as dangerous as Liverpool. The bashing of Manchester United at their den could just be a sign of the things to come from their side. More impressively, they even have a terrific bench strength with the likes of players like Cody Gapko and Darwin Nunez sitting out. But the addition of Federico Chiesa for such a bargain has surprised the soccer world. The Italy international is expected to bring an additional edge to their attack and has now left everyone wanting to see his prowess. However, whether he is ready to get into the squad against Nottingham Forest remains.

Progress of Federico Chiesa revealed amid question of his debut for Liverpool

Liverpool with the acquisition of Federico Chiesa might have pulled off the best deal of the transfer window. Yet, the defender is questioned for his vulnerability to injuries. Nevertheless, the coach Arne Slot has cleared a few queries about his debut and fitness. According to reports, whether Chiesa is ready to take the field on Saturday will be decided today. However, the player getting at least a few minutes of game time looks likely.

Meanwhile, the Italian has trained with the Under-21 during the international break and impressed the youth coach during the training. But Slot said, “Federico has trained with the team now three or four times, so let’s see how he does today [Friday] and which decision I make.” “We have more than 20 players, so if I choose for position or the ones that are the fittest at the moment.” Although Chiesa is fit, it finally comes down to competition for a position.

Where does Federico Chiesa fit in Liverpool XI?

Despite going under the much-appreciated Arne Slot, the Reds have shown no signs of transition on the pitch. Although Slot’s style may alter a bit from Klopp’s, their press has been impressive which will challenge Federico Chiesa. Although good on both the wings, replacing Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz on the other side is difficult. The Colombian’s brace at Old Trafford will establish his place in the XI and the Egyptian’s position on the right is a cornerstone for the team’s attack. However, with his ability in the center, whether Slot may look to try him as a striker remains a mystery.

Meanwhile, if Chiesa is most likely to come from the bench, he may take the left flank as an alternate to Diaz. Nonetheless, contracting him for $16.5 million is still great for the Merseyside club. The 26-year-old comes with an experience of helping Italy win the 2020 Euros and he also was the 2021 Italian Player of the Year. But can she show the same ability in the Premier League and help Liverpool win the league? Let us know in the comments.
