 Federico Chiesa gives Liverpool huge injury worry and he's not the only first team star

Federico Chiesa's history of injuries is a cause for concern for Liverpool, with the Italian winger averaging 95.6 days out injured per season. This is a week more than any other Liverpool player, and his history of injuries at Juventus is a worry. Chiesa has had various problems with his knees and several muscles, missing 91 Juventus games since signing for the Turin side in 2020.

Chiesa's injury history includes an ACL injury that saw him miss 45 matches at club level, and he has had to sit out of several games due to various injuries. This could be a significant worry for Liverpool, especially considering the intense nature of the Premier League.

Other first-team stars who are injury-prone include:

- *Ibrahima Konate*: The centre-back has averaged 88.8 days out injured per season, making him the second most injury-prone player in the squad.

- *Diogo Jota*: The forward has averaged 76.8 days out injured per season, making him a worry for Liverpool's attacking lineup.

- *Virgil van Dijk*: The defender has averaged 63.8 days out injured per season, which could be a significant worry for Liverpool's defense.

- *Alisson*: The goalkeeper has averaged 53.8 days out injured per season, which could impact Liverpool's goalkeeping options.

However, it's worth noting that Liverpool's new coach, Arne Slot, has a reputation for being an "injury prevention specialist," which could help mitigate some of these concerns. Slot has already shown his willingness to take preventative measures, such as substituting players early to avoid injuries.
