Chiesa in Liverpool squad for UCL trip to Milan

Juventus winger set to face former club after injury lay-off

Liverpool have included Federico Chiesa in their squad for their Champions League trip to AC Milan on Tuesday.

The Italy international has been out since January with a cruciate ligament injury, but he returned to training last week and is now in contention to make his comeback against his former club.

Chiesa is a key player for Liverpool, and his return will be a major boost to their hopes of winning the Champions League this season.

The 24-year-old is a versatile attacker who can play on either wing or as a central striker.

He is known for his pace, skill and goalscoring ability.

Chiesa joined Liverpool from Fiorentina in 2020 for a fee of £50 million.

He has since made 50 appearances for the club, scoring 10 goals.

Chiesa is a full international for Italy, and he has won 32 caps for his country.

He was part of the Italy squad that won the European Championship in 2020.

Liverpool will be hoping that Chiesa can make a quick return to action and help them to achieve their goals this season.

They are currently second in the Premier League, one point behind Manchester City.

They are also through to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, where they will face Manchester City again.

Chiesa's return will give Liverpool a major boost in their quest for silverware this season.
