Speaking to reporters, Slot explained, “Federico Chiesa is feeling sick, unfortunately for him because he had some minutes against Southampton. He was sick in the last two days and today as well, so we couldn’t bring him to the game.”
Chiesa, who joined Liverpool from Juventus in August 2024, has made three appearances for the Reds so far. His debut came in a UEFA Champions League clash against AC Milan on September 17, 2024, where Liverpool secured a 3-1 victory. He also featured in Premier League games against AFC Bournemouth on September 21 and another fixture on September 25. Despite these contributions, Chiesa is still seeking his first goal or assist for the club.
Liverpool is preparing for a midweek Premier League fixture against Leicester City at Anfield on December 26, 2024.
The Reds, currently sitting atop the league table with a four-point lead over Chelsea, will aim to maintain their momentum during the busy festive period. Meanwhile, Leicester will be fighting to climb out of the relegation zone.
