Federico Chiesa appears to have taken another step towards returning to action after taking part in a training session with some of Liverpool’s first-team players.
The Italian winger has missed the opening seven games of the season because of what Andoni Iraola previously described as a “small muscle injury” suffered after Liverpool’s pre-season friendly against Como.
Chiesa’s last appearance came on August 16, with the expectation being that he could return to training towards the end of September.
A new update has now emerged from goalkeeper Hayden Smith, who recently joined Liverpool and was invited to the AXA Training Centre to work alongside some first-team players.
Smith revealed that he trained with Chiesa and James McConnell during the session.
“It was great. I was just training and they told me to come in and go up there, to the AXA, to train with Chiesa and McConnell.
“It’s crazy to think, you see them on the telly and then you’re training with them. It was good, it was a good experience,” Smith said.
The session suggests Chiesa is progressing with his recovery, although Liverpool have yet to confirm when the winger will be available for competitive action.
