Arne Slot could hand Federico Chiesa his debut back in Italy

The summer signing failed to make the squad for Saturday's home loss to Nottingham Forest despite training with his new team during the international break.

Chiesa has travelled to Italy for the match, with Arne Slot confirming at his pre-match press conference that the 26-year-old could feature off the bench.

The Liverpool boss said: “Too early to play 90 mins but hopefully some minutes in the upcoming fixtures."

Harvey Elliott is out for the foreseeable with a foot injury, but there are otherwise plenty of options for Slot to choose from.

The Dutchman has a decision to make in attack with who partners Mohamed Salah, after Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo all failed to make an impact against Forest.

Nunez and Gakpo has been given bit-part roles so far this season, so both could be given an opportunity from the off at San Siro given the tight turnaround between games.

Alexis Mac Allister played only 60 minutes against Forest, but Slot has stated that the midfielder is available from the start.

“I think he can play 60 or 90 minutes tomorrow and we will see the decision I make,” he said on Monday. “He is like the other 22, an important player for us."

Liverpool predicted XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Endo, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Nunez

Injured: Elliott
