Liverpool manager Arne Slot has since spoken about his decision and Chiesa's subsequent approach to training has attracted attention.

Arne Slot explains Federico Chiesa decision

Slot confessed that Chiesa was unhappy when he outlined his argument for making the winger miss out on European nights at Anfield.

Chiesa has made 16 Champions League appearances during his career, including three games for Liverpool last season, but was passed over in favour of young forward Ngumoha, who is not eligible for a homegrown place or a spot on 'List B' due to arriving from Chelsea last summer.

"Of course, that is one of the most difficult things you have to do as a manager," Slot explained.

Arne Slot has discussed Federico Chiesa's reaction to being left out of Liverpool's Champions League squad.

The winger was once again involved off the bench in Liverpool's 1-0 win over Burnley on Sunday and his manager's comments have broken Chiesa's silence, with Slot previously praising Chiesa's outlook this term.

"I see a totally different Federico now than from large parts of last season," Slot said after the team's opening win over Bournemouth.

Chiesa was linked with a move away from the Reds before his omission, yet he has not allowed his frustration to impact his mentality in training.

Discussing Chiesa's claim that he was committed to helping the side in the league and domestic cup competitions, Slot said: "That's one thing to say but I think he also showed this because he wasn't selected but he worked really hard these days to be ready for the upcoming days
