Liverpool will be facing Bologna without forward Federico Chiesa due to an injury sustained in training. The team's manager, Arne Slot, announced the news during a press conference ahead of their upcoming Champions League fixture. He expressed disappointment for Chiesa missing out on the chance to play at Anfield, particularly against an Italian opponent, emphasizing that the injury does not seem severe but will keep the player out of the upcoming match.

Chiesa, who joined Liverpool recently from Juventus, has had limited game time with only three appearances so far. His absence means he will miss the crucial Champions League encounter and potentially the Premier League match against Crystal Palace as well. Despite this setback, Liverpool will have Diogo Jota available for the upcoming match, as confirmed by Slot, after recovering from a minor knock.

Social media was abuzz with a mix of reactions to Chiesa's injury news. While some expressed surprise, others pointed out previous concerns about his injury proneness. There were contrasting opinions on the significance of this particular knock, with some defending Chiesa and questioning the critique of his injury record based on limited information.

The absence of Chiesa will be felt by Liverpool, who will now have to navigate their upcoming matches without the talented forward. Fans are hopeful for a swift recovery for Chiesa and anticipate his return to action for the team in the near future.
