Chiesa added to Champions League Squad

Federico Chiesa on not being in the UCL squad (originally) : “I just said to the coach ‘okay — no problem. I will keep working hard and I will get my chances in the Carabao Cup and the Premier League.’ I am a professional player, I play for Liverpool and to do that is amazing.”
 
For all the chat about fans being fickle and all the rest of it, I think guys like Origi, Chiesa, Endo underline the fact that fans really do want to love and get behind players.

If Chiesa does actually "make it" at Liverpool, it'll be a redemption arc for the ages. I suppose one argument is that a MotM performance against a second string Southampton side is nothing to write home about it but it is a start.
 
Leaving him out of the CL squad - fine
Following that up by leaving him out of the squad for the Everton game - unconscionable

In fairness, he's made a difference to games this season when he's came on, I don't really understand why he didn't make the CL squad in the first place, if he broke down we could have replaced him in the squad couldn't we? And leaving out the Everton squad afterwards was cuntish behaviour. I suspect Slot doesn't rate him regardless, probably because of something stupid like him not being the right build for what he perceives as his perfect forward. Meanwhile Cody Gapko is working on telegraphing his runs to Crystal Palace.
 
Anyone know if this is a simple, quick & easy process where we just ring up or write to UEFA and say "Hey mother fuckers, we need to swap one Italian out for another for the CL squad, so you know, any chance of getting a fucking move on?"

I guess what I'm trying to say here is, will be be eligible to feature in Turkey on Tuesday?
 
Should an outfield player face a minimum 60-day absence, clubs are now permitted to bring in a replacement - with this regulation valid through to matchday six.

Article 31.14 states: "Exceptionally, a replacement after the deadlines set in the present regulations is permitted in the following cases and under the following conditions.

"Long-term injury or illness of an outfield player: during the league phase until matchday 6 included, the club concerned may temporarily replace a maximum of one outfield player and register a new outfield player. The club must complete the official registration of List A with the replacement player, who must have been registered with the club in accordance with Paragraph 30.01 to Paragraph 30.06 before the deadline for List A referred to in Paragraph 31.09(e) (i.e. 2 September 2025 - 24:00 CET).

Chelsea changed their squad 24hrs before playing Bayern, under the same ruling

Maybe things will change after that post match praise from Slot the other day? The boy has been phenomenal in his attitude throughout his time with us off the pitch, and his Kuyt-like enthusiasm on the pitch surely rubs off on his teammates. He might not be someone that gets played every single week but he does deserve a run of games. Such a likable lad. Rooting for him!
