Liverpool XI vs Bournemouth: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Premier League | OneFootball

Reds return from successful trip to Milan in the Champions League

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has urged caution in regards to Federico Chiesa.

Still, having barely featured since Italy’s Euro 2024 campaign, Chiesa will need to build up his fitness.

“Federico Chiesa will be a big asset for us,” said the Reds boss.

“That's clear, that's what we knew before we signed him

“He needs playing minutes now but he has competition from some good wingers as well.”
