🏟️🚨Rule Means Federico Chiesa Could Still Play Champions League Football This Season
Alongside others, Federico Chiesa is one of the names that has not been included in Liverpool’s 2025/26 Champions League squad. It’s not all doom and gloom for the 27-year-old, however, as a reason why he still may be able to play European football this season has been revealed.
By virtue of how well the Italian, formerly of Juventus and Fiorentina, has started the new campaign, there was a common belief that he’d be selected by Arne Slot and his entourage as the Dutch tactician looks to triumph at Europe’s top table.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: In January 2025, Chiesa became the first Liverpool player since 1906 to win his first eight competitive games for the club.
Born and raised in Genoa, Chiesa – who initially looked likely to depart earlier in the summer transfer window – has become something of a fan favourite among the Anfield faithful and, as a result, fans are unhappy that he’s been snubbed from the squad.
“If Arne Slot and our leadership knew that we wouldn’t include Chiesa in the UCL squad, they should have told him and sent him out on loan or sold him,” one wrote. “It’s a World Cup year and he wants to be part of Italy’s squad. Selfish man, that’s what it is.”

For Chiesa, who signed from Juventus in the summer of 2024, minutes were hard to come by throughout his maiden season in England. All in all, he played 14 times – equating to 466 minutes – in all competitions, but just six times in the Premier League.
This campaign around, the winger has already played three times in England’s top flight – despite all being cameos from the bench. He even managed to net in his side’s third goal in their curtain-raising 4-2 victory over Bournemouth on 15 August.
