Liverpool pair Chiesa and Nyoni miss training ahead of Galatasaray
Liverpool forwards Federico Chiesa and Trey Nyoni were absent from Monday morning’s training session ahead of Tuesday’s crucial Champions League fixture against Galatasaray.
The Italian winger and the teenage midfielder were notable absentees as manager Arne Slot finalised his tactical preparations for the European tie.
Both players were recently involved in the matchday squad for Friday night’s FA Cup encounter against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
During that domestic cup fixture, the 17-year-old academy prospect made a second-half appearance from the substitutes’ bench.
Nyoni absence explained as Chiesa omission remains unclear
Nyoni’s omission from the senior session is understood to be a routine recovery measure after he featured for the Under-21 side on Sunday.
However, the precise reason behind the former Juventus attacker’s failure to participate at the training ground remains unspecified.
Slot will now likely have to formulate his attacking strategy without the services of the summer signing.
Crucial European points on the line
The Merseyside club face the Turkish giants aiming to secure another vital victory in the league phase of the continental competition.
Managing squad rotation and minor knocks continues to be a delicate balancing act for the Dutch head coach during a severely congested winter schedule.
