Liverpool XI vs AC Milan: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Champions League | OneFootball

Arne Slot could hand Federico Chiesa his debut back in Italy

Federico Chiesa will be hoping to make his Liverpool debut in familiar surroundings as the Reds begin their Champions League campaign at AC Milan.

The summer signing failed to make the squad for Saturday's home loss to Nottingham Forest despite training with his new team during the international break.

Arne Slot may welcome the idea of giving Chiesa his first minutes in Italy, but the midfielder remains a doubt. Harvey Elliott is out for the foreseeable with a foot injury.

Nunez and Gakpo has been given bit-part roles so far this season, so both could be given an opportunity from the off at San Siro given the tight turnaround between games.

Liverpool predicted XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Endo, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Nunez

Doubts: Chiesa

Injured: Elliott
