Fresh Liverpool injury blow emerges just minutes into Champions League clash v Marseille

Liverpool fans learned of a fresh injury to Federico Chiesa in the opening minutes of tonight’s Champions League clash against Marseille.

The Italian was named among nine substitutes for Arne Slot when the Reds’ starting XI was announced 75 minutes before kick-off, with Mo Salah’s return to the line-up for the first time in eight weeks the standout piece of team news.

The 28-year-old has come off the bench in three of our European matches so far this season, but he won’t be adding to that tally at the Stade Velodrome.
