Another international window will pass this month without Federico Chiesa that adds to his 51 caps For Italy.
Despite the fact that it is used more often by Arne Slot in the first weeks of this season compared to the last and having the Best Doelen-per minute ratio of everyone in Liverpool so far in 2025/26The attacker was again omitted by Gennaro Gattuso for Azzurri obligation in October.
The former AC Milan -Middenveld General called a Reds player in Giovanni Leoni last month, but unfortunately the ACL injury of the defender will come next to each other for the near future at the end of September.
Gattuso explains the newest Chiesa -Weglating for Italy
Speaking with the media prior to the next qualifying match from Italy on Saturday to Estonia, Gattuso explained that he chose to leave Chiesa out after the 27-year-old admitted that he does not yet feel ‘100%’ in conversations between the couple.
Said the Azzurri boss (via Football Italia): “The Chiesa problem is very simple. I talk a lot with my players and I want to make that a lot clear.
“I speak with Fede every week and he knows what I think of him, but I also have to respect what the player tells me. He doesn’t feel 100% and wants to be 100%; that’s the truth.”
Chiesa is certainly not far away from an Italy refund campaign
The statement by Gattuso was similar to the person he gave for omitting the Liverpool Vooruit from the Italy team last month, and it means that the number 14 of the Reds has still not played for his country since his transfer of Juventus in August 2024.
Chiesa was promoted to our Champions League team after Leoni’s injury but did not travel to Istanbul for the defeat against Galatasaray last week, after he had stayed on Merseyside because of a light ‘kneeling’, as Slot explained.
He was on the couch for the match in Chelsea on Saturday, but did not play a role in the competition, and LFC fans will not complain that he will break the international break to work on his fitness in the AXA training center, instead of traveling through Europe and to risk an injury to Azzurri obligation.
If the 27-year-old in the following month still grabs a crucial goals or two and has no further injury problems, he may get the call from Gattuso for the Italian matches in November, one of which is a Crunch World Cup qualification match against group leaders Norway.
Chiesa would definitely earn it to be restored in the national team fold, but he is doing well to stay in Liverpool before a new hectic series of seven games in three weeks before Slot’s Side.
