'I must respect what the player tells me' - Chiesa unavailable for Italy
Liverpool news: Federico Chiesa makes himself unavailable for Italy call-up
www.bbc.comHere’s a concise update on Federico Chiesa.
- Chiesa has been dealing with injury issues, which have limited his playing time and availability for both club and country in the 2025-2026 period. This has contributed to a quieter period in terms of on-pitch visibility compared with his earlier seasons.[1][2]
- In March 2026, reports indicated he withdrew from Italy duty due to injury concerns, with Liverpool and Italy officials noting he was deemed unavailable for the upcoming matches. This reinforced the pattern of lingering fitness problems affecting his selection.[2][3]
- As of May 2026, there hasn’t been a widely publicized, definitive long-term diagnosis, but the prevailing narrative centers on recurring injury setbacks rather than a high-profile transfer or off-field issue.[3][1]
