Arne Slot Provides Liverpool Fitness Update Before Bournemouth Clash (2026)

Arne Slot's Liverpool squad is set to face Bournemouth, but there's a twist. Federico Chiesa, a key player, was initially named on the bench for the Champions League victory over Marseille, but a knock during the warm-up forced him to withdraw. The forward's availability for the upcoming trip to Vitality Stadium is uncertain, as he will be assessed today. Slot confirmed that, aside from this concern, the team is in good shape for Saturday's 5:30 PM GMT kickoff. During his pre-match press conference, Slot shared, 'Federico wasn't able to be on the bench on Wednesday. We had a recovery session yesterday, so we'll see if he's fit today. It's tough to say if he'll be available for Bournemouth. We don't anticipate a long-term absence, so it's a 50/50 call if he'll be ready for tomorrow.' Slot also noted that, 'For the rest of the team, everyone is in good health at the moment, but sometimes you can feel something when you resume training. However, I expect all our players to be available for tomorrow, and Calvin Ramsay, who wasn't in the Champions League squad, will be ready for the Premier League match, adding another option to the lineup.'
