Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa has pledged his future to the club, having recently been linked with a move away following a challenging start to life at Anfield.
It had been 126 days since Federico Chiesa last started for Liverpool. The Italian registered an assist on his full Reds debut against West Ham United back on September 25, but that remained his last involvement for Arne Slot’s side for three months because of injury and illness before his return to action last month.

According to FotMob, no player at the Philips Stadion contested (18) or won (11) more duels than the Italy international, who also won the joint-most fouls (four) and came away with more touches (48) than fellow forwards Danns (25) and Cody Gakpo (21) combined.
Injuries and fitness have limited Chiesa’s opportunities since joining in the summer and he played his first full match for Liverpool against PSV on Wednesday.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Chiesa is ‘madly in love’ with playing for Liverpool with the Italian pleased to have made the move to Anfield last summer, even with the attacker struggling with injury and fitness problems since making the switch to England.
Under Arne Slot the Reds have been superb in the new-look competition and have seven wins from seven so far. It means the match against PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday is effectively a dead rubber for Liverpool, with a spot in the top two and prime position in the round-of-16 draw secured.
