Latest news: Federico Chiesa has not been a part of the Liverpool squad in the last seven matches now, with Slot citing his lack of warm-up this summer ahead of his transfer from Juventus as the reason his fitness levels were not to the required standard just yet.
"With Federico it's a bit more simple, although it is difficult, it is a bit more simple to explain.
It's difficult to say but it is a big disappointment that he is going in and out of the training sessions all the time."
Most recently, it has been confirmed by the head coach that his summer signing will not be involved before the international break.
Possible return date: Unknown
