Gattuso Cuts Chiesa As Italy Faces ‘No Alibis’ World Cup Playoff

Not fit to play with Italy Chiesa (muscular) is not fit to feature for Italy, according to the FIGC.

Impact Chiesa was pulled from Italy's national squad after medical tests upon his arrival revealed muscular issues that left him unfit to play. The winger will now head back to England and look to get healthy over the next few weeks in hopes of being available for the Reds after the international break. That said, Chiesa has mostly been used as a bench piece this season under coach Arne Slot, so his absence is not expected to impact the starting XI.

Impact Chiesa missed the last match due to illness but is expected back in team training Friday as he feels better and should be available for Sunday's clash against Spurs. The Italian winger has mostly been limited to a bench role this season under coach Arne Slot. His return is unlikely to shake up the starting XI since Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz and Mohamed Salah remain the preferred options on the wings.

Alisson injury: Nightmare for Liverpool as No.1 goalkeeper ruled out of Galatasaray Champions League last-16 tie

Out for UCL clash Chiesa (undisclosed) is not included in the squad for the Champions League first leg against Galatasaray, the club announced.

Impact Chiesa did not train Monday for undisclosed reasons and will not be in the squad for the Champions League first leg against Galatasaray. The forward has mostly served in a substitute role this season, logging just 24 minutes across the last four matches in all competitions, so his absence should not significantly impact the team.

Nets off bench Chiesa scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 6-0 win versus Qarabag.

Impact Chiesa came off the bench for the final 14 minutes of Wednesday's clash and scored. The attacking midfielder has struggled for any sort of sizeable role during his time with Liverpool, despite scoring at a very efficient pace when given chances. It seems unlikely that manager Arne Slot sees a big role for Chiesa in the coming months though.

Liverpool Secures Top-3 Seed In Champions League Knockout Phase With 6-0 Thrashing

On bench midweek Chiesa (undisclosed) is on the bench for Wednesday's game versus Qarabag.

Impact Chiesa will be an option going forward and could see some minutes as either Mohamed Salah's or Florian Wirtz's backup Wednesday. However, Chiesa has made just four appearances so far in 2026, failing to score or assist across 79 minutes of play, so his fantasy value might be limited until he regains form.

Should be available Wednesday Chiesa (undisclosed) trained in full on Tuesday and should be an option for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Qarabag, according to the Liverpool Echo.

Impact Chiesa missed the last game against Bournemouth due to a minor issue he picked up during the warm up ahead of the game against Marseille last week in the Champions League. The Italian was back in team training on Tuesday and should be an option for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Qarabag. This is good news for the Reds, since he should see some playing time in this clash if deemed fit to play, given the matchup.

Out to face Cherries Chiesa (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's match against Bournemouth.

Impact Chiesa is not with the club Saturday as he misses another match following an absence in UCL play. This results in some loss of depth but is not a major absence, as the forward has only scored one goal and two assists in 16 appearances (one start) this season.

Impact Chiesa will be a late fitness call for Saturday's clash against the Cherries due to the issue he picked up in the warmup prior to Wednesday's clash against Marseille in the Champions League. The Italian is labelled as a fifty-fifty case, but if he had to miss the game and not answer the call, his absence will have only a minor impact on the starting squad since he has mainly been a bench option for the Reds this campaign.

Impact Chiesa has struggled to find a consistent role in Liverpool's rotation, and he's now dealing with an issue that could leave him out of a few more games. The injury-prone winger may consequently see little or no action for the rest of January while either Florian Wirtz or Mohamed Salah play on the right flank. In that case, Chiesa will remain with two goals and one assist in 16 Premier League games over the current season.

Option off bench Saturday Chiesa (illness) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Brighton.

Impact Chiesa has trained on Friday after fully recovering from the illness that sidelined him for the last game against Inter. The Italian is back available to face the Seagulls and returns as an option off the bench, consistent with the role he has held since the beginning of the campaign. His return would provide additional depth in the attacking rotation without altering the established starting XI.

Impact Chiesa will train on Friday after fully recovering from the illness that made him miss the last game against Inter. The Italian should be back available against the Seagulls and find back a bench role just like he had since the beginning of the campaign with the Reds.

Impact Chiesa's illness comes at an awful time for Liverpool, with Cody Gakpo (undisclosed) set for a few weeks out and Mohamed Salah dropped due to a feud with Slot. That means Florian Wirtz could be pushed onto the wing, with one of Liverpool's new strikers or youngster Rio Ngumoha also competing for a starting spot.
