Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed Federico Chiesa will return to action for the first time since September for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup clash with Southampton. Chiesa
came on as a substitute in Saturday’s draw at Fulham but has been ruled out following an incident in the game.
However, they travel to Premier League bottom-ranked Southampton. Who sacked their manager, so this could be the chance to see Chiesa in action
. Slott has yet to decide whether the Italian winger starts or comes on as a substitute following his lengthy injury lay-off.
“It’s his turn now but how many minutes is the question,” Slot told ยูฟ่าเบท . “
You cannot expect him to play 90 minutes, especially at such a high level of intensity. Because he has been out for five or six months, but he will play if he has trained well. ” It
will be a game where we won’t have all our first-choice players. So we have to manage our games well if we want some of our first-choice players to play but not the full 90 minutes. “
We have to get the balance right. I can only make five substitutions, the number of people who can come on and come off maybe at half-time can’t be more than five.”
“Federico will play tomorrow but whether he starts. Comes on as a substitute or comes on in the second half, that will have to be decided later.”
In addition, their two young defenders, Amarra Nallo and James Norris, could also get a chance to start.
