Federico Chiesa is on the verge of missing out on a Premier League winners' medal, though ought to take a page out of Harvey Elliott's book if he does.

The Italian ace, who signed for Liverpool from Juventus in the summer, has only clocked up three league games this season and needs at least two more appearances in the competition to meet the automatic qualification for a medal.

According to Premier League rules, players need to rack up five appearances during the season to be deemed eligible for one.

That said, the clubs receive a total of 40 medals and can distribute them as they see fit once all players with five or more appearances have been awarded theirs.

More worryingly, he's only managed seven minutes of Premier League action since September, having made just a couple of late appearances against Brentford and Ipswich last month.

Out of his 10 Liverpool appearances across all competitions, only three have been starts.

He's also only completed 90 minutes once - during the Reds' 3-2 loss to PSV in the Champions League last month.

Chiesa isn't the only senior Liverpool player set to miss out on a winners' medal.

Jayden Danns, who has featured in both the Premier League and Champions League this season, is four appearances short of one, and won't get any more after being loaned out to Sunderland.

.

Other players like Trey Nyoni, Tyler Morton and James McConnell, who have each participated in multiple games in other competitions, are five league games short and seem unlikely to qualify.

Should he fail to secure a medal, Chiesa wouldn't be the first high-profile player to miss out in recent years
