Federico Chiesa breaks silence on social media amid reports claiming he's 'unhappy' at Liverpool

Federico Chiesa has broken his silence on social media amid reports claiming he's 'unhappy' at Liverpool.

Chiesa has made just three appearances in all competitions since signing for Liverpool in a transfer worth £12.5 million during the summer.

Injuries have plagued his spell in Merseyside, with reports in Italy suggesting the player could force a move away from Anfield in the New Year.

It's claimed that Chiesa's agent has already spoken to both Inter Milan and AS Roma ahead of a potential return to Italy, with a six-month loan deal mooted.

Both Serie A clubs are not in a position to buy the Liverpool star on a permanent deal but would instead try to strike a loan with an obligation to buy in the summer.

However, it appears the reports of him being 'unhappy' in England are wide of the mark judging by his social media activity.

He shared a picture of himself from a recent training session with a beaming smile, seemingly suggesting he's happy at the club.

The 27-year-old won't be involved in Liverpool's matchday squad for their game at Southampton on Sunday.

But, according to Arne Slot, the Italian winger is expected to return to action in a few weeks.

"Jota is still the same as Federico, who is coming back into the session after one exercise today," he said during his pre-match press conference as quoted by the Liverpool Echo.

"All expected back in a few weeks, but the last part of recovery is always the hardest, so let’s wait and see."

Chiesa's fellow countryman Marco Materazzi has backed him to make a 'big impact' at Liverpool once he returns to full fitness.

"I think Chiesa decided to join Liverpool on the last day of the transfer window and it wasn’t really easy," he told LuckyBlock.com.

"They have players like Mohamed Salah in the squad, who is a legend of the club, it’s not easy for Chiesa to get games when they’ve played so well.

"He played so many games last season and I think he’ll have to bide his time. I think when he comes into the team he can make a big impact.”
