Liverpool fans are deeply worried following Arne Slot’s latest update on Federico Chiesa.

Liverpool fans have been left uneasy after hearing manager Arne Slot’s update on Federico Chiesa, especially following his promising performance against Accrington Stanley.

The Italian winger, who joined Liverpool from Juventus in the summer, has made only four appearances for the Reds. His season was disrupted by a muscle injury sustained during his first start for the club in a Carabao Cup match against West Ham, sidelining him for three months.

Chiesa’s most recent game time before the Accrington match was a 45-minute cameo in a Carabao Cup tie against Southampton last month. Since then, he has been on Liverpool’s bench for four of their last five fixtures. Many fans expected him to start against Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup third round to regain fitness. However, Slot chose to start 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha on the left wing, relegating Chiesa to the bench once again.

Chiesa entered as a halftime substitute and impressed with his performance, even scoring in Liverpool’s 4-0 victory. Despite this, Slot’s pre-match remarks about the £12.5 million signing have raised concerns about his future at Anfield.

Slot commented, “It’s not just about Federico and his playing time; it’s about others as well. We’ll see in the coming weeks and months if he can help us because things will get even more intense.”

These comments have fueled speculation that Chiesa could leave Liverpool as early as January. However, fans are now urging Slot to give him more opportunities after his strong showing against Accrington.

One fan wrote: “Slot should trust Chiesa more now. He’d do even better surrounded by better players. He’s versatile and can back up Mo as well.”

Another added: “Happy for Chiesa after that goal. Hope Slot gives him more chances.”

A third said: “What a strike from Chiesa. He deserves more game time.”

A fourth commented: “Chiesa contributes more than Nunez and still doesn’t start.”

And a fifth remarked: “Chiesa deserves to play more. I might’ve been wr
