Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has hinted that Federico Chiesa could get a surprise opportunity against Manchester City as the club battles an attacking injury crisis.
With Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekitike unavailable, Chiesa could return from injury and potentially feature as a striker, despite not playing a single minute this season.
Iraola praised the Italian’s work in training during the international break but admitted he still needs match fitness.
Lewis Koumas remains Liverpool’s only natural available striker, although the manager is considering alternative options ahead of Sunday’s crucial clash with City.
