Chiesa (undisclosed) will be a late call for Saturday's clash against Bournemouth, coach Arne Slot said in the press conference. "Federico wasn't able to be on the bench on Wednesday. There was a recovery session yesterday, so we have to wait and see today. It's difficult for me to say whether he is available for Bournemouth. We don't expect him to be out for long, so it would be 50/50 maybe if he is available for tomorrow."

Chiesa will be a late fitness call for Saturday's clash against the Cherries due to the issue he picked up in the warmup prior to Wednesday's clash against Marseille in the Champions League. The Italian is labelled as a fifty-fifty case, but if he had to miss the game and not answer the call, his absence will have only a minor impact on the starting squad since he has mainly been a bench option for the Reds this campaign.
