Footballer Federico Chiesa will have the opportunity to participate in the Champions League with the "Liverpool" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Initially, the Italian footballer was not included in Liverpool's competition list. However, a change occurred due to the young defender Giovanni Leoni sustaining an injury.
The 18-year-old player suffered a serious injury in Liverpool's match against Southampton (2:1) and was sidelined for several months. According to UEFA's new rules, teams have the right to replace a player in the Champions League in case of a severe injury or illness lasting at least 60 days.
According to famous football expert Fabrizio Romano, the vacant spot will be taken precisely by Chiesa. Chiesa also shared his thoughts about not being initially included in Liverpool's Champions League list.
He is expected to take advantage of this opportunity and help the team. This change is of great importance for Liverpool, as the team aims to be highly competitive in the Champions League.
Chiesa's return to the field has been positively received by fans and experts alike.
