Federico Chiesa showed his professionalism in training despite being omitted from Liverpool's Champions League squad.
The 27-year-old has endured a peripheral role at the Premier League club following his arrival last summer, managing only 17 outings since his switch from Juventus.
Regardless of limited game time, the Italian remains a favourite amongst the Anfield faithful and savoured his standout moment in a Liverpool shirt during the seasonal opener, netting a decisive goal in the Reds' 4-2 win over Bournemouth.

Supporters praised his professional approach in the comments, with one fan writing: "I just love Chiesa's attitude and his work rate, of course," while another said: "Chiesa, I've got a soft spot for that guy
His attitude and passion and love for being a Liverpool player is outstanding
