Speaking to the media, Arne Slot revealed that Chiesa picked up an injury, making him doubtful for the Bologna game. “It happened yesterday. I’m not expecting him to be available, we will see for Sunday,” Slot stated, casting doubt on Chiesa’s participation in the crucial fixture.
Diogo Jota Set for Return
On a more positive note for Liverpool fans, Portuguese forward Diogo Jota will be available for selection. Jota’s return is expected to bolster Liverpool’s attacking options, especially with Chiesa’s likely absence.
