Liverpool face Galatasaray in their upcoming Champions League group stage match with concerns over three potential absences from their squad.

Federico Chiesa is confirmed to miss the game due to a minor knock sustained during Liverpool’s recent Premier League match against Crystal Palace. Liverpool manager Arne Slot explained that Chiesa attempted to train but was unable to complete the session, prompting the decision to rest him ahead of the busy fixture schedule, which includes a Premier League match against Chelsea shortly after. Chiesa had only recently been added to Liverpool's list of players eligible for the Champions League this season.

In addition to Chiesa, two other players face fitness doubts. Trey Nyoni is unavailable as he is currently involved in UEFA Youth League matches, ruling him out of senior team selection for the fixture. Jayden Danns is also sidelined due to a hamstring injury, and fellow squad member Giovanni Leoni remains out with a long-term anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

These absences limit the options available to Liverpool against Galatasaray, with Slot expected to field a slightly adjusted lineup to cope with the player unavailability. The match in Istanbul is crucial for Liverpool's ambitions in the group stage, making managing player fitness and rotation key for progression.

The situation highlights the physical demands of competing on multiple fronts and the importance of squad depth. Liverpool will need to balance resting injured or recovering players while maintaining a strong team performance to secure vital points in the Champions League.
