Why Chiesa risks missing out on Premier League winners’ medal with Liverpool | OneFootball

Federico Chiesa has only made three Premier League appearances with Liverpool this season, so he’ll need two more to get the Premier League winners’ medal.

The Italy international has been struggling with injuries and playing time at Anfield, collecting just 370 minutes of football across all competitions.

The former Juventus and Fiorentina ace has played three Premier League matches, all as a substitute, amassing only 25 minutes on the field.

His Liverpool side have a 13-point lead over second-placed Arsenal and are marching towards the domestic title even if the Gunners have a game in hand.

However, as reported by Sport Mediaset, Chiesa will have to make two more Premier League appearances this season to put his hands on the winners’ medal.

In fact, Premier League winners’ medals are distributed to all players with at least five league appearances in the campaign.

Chiesa scored a goal and provided two assists in 10 appearances across all competitions this season but hasn’t contributed to any Liverpool goal in the Premier League.

Italy coach Luciano Spalletti recently said Chiesa would need more playing time in the future to return to the national team.
