Liverpool supporters might be anxious as the team gears up for their Champions League match against Bologna, especially with two vital forwards not participating in training.
Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa were absent from today’s practice, leading to concerns about their availability for the upcoming match at Anfield on Wednesday evening.
On a brighter note, Darwin Nunez has returned after missing the last match due to sickness.
Challenges for Liverpool’s Attack
Nunez’s comeback is reassuring, but the possible unavailability of Jota and Chiesa could weaken Liverpool’s attacking lineup.
A recent scan on Jota’s foot showed no issues, yet his participation remains in doubt. Sky Sports reporter Vinny O’Connor noted, “He’s had a scan, it came back clean, but he’s just not training today.”
The status of Chiesa is still uncertain, leaving fans eagerly awaiting news. With a busy fixture list approaching, including key matches against Crystal Palace, Chelsea, and Arsenal, losing either player for an extended period would be a significant setback. Coach Slot may have to depend on Nunez and other available players to spearhead the attack in the European fixture.
October is packed with games for Liverpool, with matches occurring frequently following the international break. The team will require everyone fit and ready to maintain their winning streak. Hopefully, Jota and Chiesa’s absences will be brief, allowing them to contribute significantly in the crucial upcoming games.
Given the tightly packed schedule, fans are eager for a quick recovery for both players and a favorable outcome against Bologna to sustain their European aspirations.
