Federico Chiesa has yet to start a Premier League game for Liverpool since his transfer from Serie A side Juventus and coach Arne Slot said the Italian forward was now ready to play more minutes but faces some fierce competition.

Federico Chiesa is ready to make a bigger impact in the Premier League according to Arne Slot. But the Liverpool head coach warned the Italian continues to face intense competition for a place in the Reds’ attack.

After Federico Chiesa completed his first full 90 minutes for Liverpool in the 3-2 loss to PSV Eindhoven, Arne Slot has declared him “ready for more” at long last. Chiesa took the biggest step of his fledgling Liverpool career so far when he started and played the full 90 in a rotated side against PSV.

Arne Slot has admitted there are five Liverpool forwards harming Federico Chiesa's hopes of regular first-team football with the club. The Italian international has struggled since his summer move from Juventus, making just three Premier League appearances for the Reds and nine in all competitions.

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.

Diogo Jota, Joe Gomez and Darwin Nunez are all in contention to return to Liverpool’s squad for the upcoming Premier League game against Bournemouth. Liverpool head coach Arne Slot confirmed that all three would train with the rest of the first team today and a decision will be made on whether to involve them.

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.

Liverpool star Federico Chiesa could be set to be handed more minutes by Arne Slot following his impressive cameo in the Champions League victory over Lille on Tuesday night.
