“Let’s see” – Arne Slot coy about “world-class” Liverpool ace before Accrington clash

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has discussed Federico Chiesa’s slow start to life at Liverpool, admitting the second half of the season is key for him.

The Italian made the move to Anfield from Juventus during last season’s summer transfer window, in what was seen as a surprise signing by some.

There were concerns that Chiesa’s injury-prone nature would be an issue for Liverpool, and he has rather predictably been unavailable more often than not, starting no Premier League games.

Speaking to the media before the FA Cup third round clash with Accrington Stanley [This Is Anfield], Slot explained Chiesa’s lack of minutes this season, backing him to come good in the coming months.
