[James Pearce] Slot on Jota/Chiesa: “Diogo missed 2 sessions after game v Wolves, but I’m expecting him to be available to play. Federico, it happened yesterday. I’m not expecting him to be available. We will have to see about Saturday.”

  1. On the upside that’s definitely another international break Chiesa will miss for Italy. It sounds like he’s close for Saturday which will mean he won’t play anyway but will then have 2 weeks training at Kirkby while the other forwards are all away with National teams

  2. By all accounts Jota had his foot stepped on and had a bit of pain afterwards, so I imagine he was kept out of training as more of a pre-caution than anything else.

  3. TheMindOfErnesto on

    Chiesa one is particularly annoying as I saw this as the perfect game for him to target. But at least it’s international break coming up.

  4. Chiesa one is a bummer since it happened in training but I suppose not really having a preseason comes with some elevated risk as he attempts to build his fitness quickly. Hopefully it’s a small one and he is able to heal up quickly. The games are coming thick and fast now.

  5. Diaz and Jota can play RW alright tbf, we have a lot of attacking depth. Hopefully we’ll have Elliot soon we need him after the international break.
