Three appearances this season, of which only one as a starter, around 80 minutes on the pitch and one assist on the scoresheet before getting injured and struggling a lot to get back up to speed with his teammates. Now, finally, everything seems to be behind us; the finishing in sight of Real Madrid gives Arne Slot a Federico Chiesa refurbished: as reported BBC Sportsthe Italian trained regularly and took to the field with a big smile on his face.
The former Juventus and Fiorentina player has been on the sidelines since the end of September and has only played three matches with his new team: the one at San Siro against Milan and those at Anfield against Bournemouth (Premier League) and West Ham (Carabao Cup). Chiesa warmed up with his teammates without problems: first some stretching exercises, then a couple of stretches to test his leg and then in a group for the rest of the session.
Is this a sign that he will be able to be called up and maybe play tomorrow night? It is not certain and we will know more in Arne Slot’s press conference. What is certain however is the absence of Jota and Alisson, who will not be available tomorrow against the reigning European champions.
