Liverpool's Chiesa to miss Champions League clash against Bologna

PA reporter

Liverpool forward Federico Chiesa will miss the Champions League clash with Bologna on Wednesday after sustaining a minor issue in training.

The Italy international was not present with the rest of the squad for their open session in front of the media on Tuesday morning.

Diogo Jota was also absent but Liverpool head coach Arne Slot expects him to be in the squad to face the Serie A side at Anfield.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot said: “Diogo missed two sessions after the Wolves game as he took a knock. I’m expecting to be with us tomorrow.

“Federico trained with us yesterday and came in today with some problems and I’m not expecting him to be in the team tomorrow, which is a pity for us and for him as well as he was looking forward to a Champions League night at Anfield, especially against an Italian team.

“I’m not expecting him to be out for a very long period of time but this game is not possible for him and we have to wait to see if he can be in the team on Saturday (against Crystal Palace).”

Forward Darwin Nunez, who missed Saturday’s win at Wolves through illness, is back in training and could come in for Jota, while left-back Andy Robertson, who had been forced off at Molineux with a knock, was also present.
