Federico Chiesa (Liverpool)
November 2025
Chiesa has again turned down selection for World Cup qualifiers vs Moldova and Norway. Gennaro Gattuso says he respects the decision as the winger prioritises being fully ready. Chiesa has two goals and three assists for Liverpool but limited league starts so far. After injury disruptions in recent years, Chiesa and Italy agreed he returns only at 100%. Liverpool benefit from uninterrupted club integration, while Italy reshuffle wide options for the window. Communication lines remain open for a 2026 cycle return when fitness and form align.
