Fulham Clash Boost: £57.5M Liverpool Duo Return to Full Training Under Arne Slot”
Liverpool have been handed a significant boost ahead of their Premier League showdown with Fulham on Saturday, as two of their key forwards returned to full training after lengthy absences.
Arne Slot’s debut season as manager has been extraordinary, with the Reds leading both the Premier League and Champions League tables halfway through the 2024/25 campaign. Their impressive form continued midweek, with a 1-0 victory over Girona in Spain, courtesy of a decisive goal from Mohamed Salah.
As Liverpool prepare to host Fulham at Anfield, reports from Liverpool Echo journalist Paul Gorst confirm that Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa participated in Thursday’s full team session after previously training individually. This development marks their return to action after months on the sidelines, providing Slot with additional attacking options during the demanding festive schedule.
Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa Return
Jota, who joined Liverpool from Wolves in 2020 for £45m, has been a reliable performer despite recurring injury setbacks. The 28-year-old was a regular starter earlier this season but has been unavailable since October.
Chiesa, meanwhile, signed from Juventus over the summer in a £12.5m deal. The Italian winger’s tenure at Liverpool has been marred by injuries, limiting him to just three appearances so far. Now fit, the 27-year-old will be eager to make an impact and prove his worth in the coming weeks.
Their return comes at a crucial time, giving Liverpool added firepower as they continue their push for silverware on multiple fronts.
