Liverpool will be without him, Alisson and Diogo Jota in the big match against Arsenal, although the Gunners are facing an injury crisis of their own with Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber doubtful for the match and Martin Odegaard and Riccardo Calafiori out with injuries.

While speaking on Anfield Agenda about Chiesa, Lynch has provided an update on what he has heard from club insiders about the Liverpool star, rubbishing claims of a loan move away from the club in the process.

“Slot admitted that he’s struggling to adapt to the intensity of the Premier League and they kind of wish he’d had a pre-season with them.

“But again, the idea that you’d somehow get him ready for the intensity of English football by sending him back on-loan to Italy doesn’t kind of make sense to me. So, I can’t see anything happening on that.

Chiesa has only been restricted to just 78 minutes of action so far this…
