Federico Chiesa misses Liverpool’s Champions League clash at Galatasaray on Tuesday night due to a minor injury, Arne Slot has confirmed.<\/p>\n

A knock sustained away at Crystal Palace at the weekend means the Italian forward is not part of the 21-man squad<\/a> in Istanbul for the league-phase encounter. <\/p>\n

Chiesa was added to the Reds’ list of eligible players for the competition last week as a replacement for Giovanni Leoni.<\/p>\n

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Slot said: “He got a little niggle, I think it is the word you use here in England, in the last game against Palace. <\/p>\n

“He tried it today, he was on the pitch in the beginning but he couldn’t end the session, so we decided not to take him because in a few days it’s Chelsea again.”<\/p>\n
