Liverpool fans have hit their limit following the latest update on Federico Chiesa ahead of the Girona clash.

Liverpool fans are frustrated after learning that Federico Chiesa is likely to miss their upcoming Champions League match against Girona. With the Champions League resuming this week, Liverpool aims to continue their perfect record in the competition. They have been solid defensively, conceding just once in their five games so far, with a notable 2-0 win over Real Madrid at Anfield. Although Liverpool has also been effective in attack, manager Arne Slot made some adjustments in Wednesday’s 3-3 draw at Newcastle, rotating his squad’s offensive players. The postponed Merseyside derby has provided some relief, but the Reds are facing injury setbacks, including the absence of Diogo Jota.

Darwin Nunez was substituted into the starting lineup on Wednesday but struggled to make an impact, and in a normal scenario, Chiesa could have been a viable option. However, the Italian forward has been sidelined since September due to a muscle injury, despite a promising debut against West Ham in the Carabao Cup. His injury history at Juventus has already raised concerns among Liverpool fans, and the latest news about his condition has only added to their worries.

While Chiesa has resumed training as part of his recovery, he missed Monday’s session due to illness, making him doubtful for Tuesday’s match in Spain. Fans are unhappy about his continued unavailability and have even drawn comparisons to previous Serie A signings like Arthur Melo and Alberto Aquilani, who did not meet expectations at Anfield. In September, Chiesa had expressed his eagerness to play more minutes for Liverpool, stating, “I am training harder, faster, I’m training to be ready to play… This depends on the coach and when he wants to play me. I just have to be ready.”
