Federico Chiesa not in Champions league Squad for Liverpool Liverpool Federico Chiesa has been left out of Liverpool’s Champions League squad. The Italian forward has been pipped to the post by young winger Rio Ngumhoa, who was included ahead of the 27-year-old in the Reds’ roster. There are strict rules set by UEFA meaning that eight players within the 25-man maximum must be ‘locally trained’, where players have spent two consecutive years with the club between the ages of 15 and 21.

Nunez leaves Liverpool to join Saudi’s Al-Hilal

Darwin Nunez Liverpool sold striker Darwin Nunez to Saudi side Al-Hilal, both clubs confirmed on Saturday, in a move that could allow the Premier League champions to make a fresh bid for Newcastle's Alexander Isak.
