ALISSON AND CHIESA MISSED THE MATCH IN ISTANBUL
In the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 match against Galatasaray, Alisson Becker was unable to play due to injury, while Federico Chiesa missed the game due to illness.
ABOUT THE LATEST CONDITIONS OF THE TWO PLAYERS
Speaking about the latest conditions of Alisson and Chiesa, Slot gave good news to the fans, saying, "So far, he has been with the physiotherapists and the rehabilitation team. We will see today if he can participate in training. I am hopeful, but I am not 100% sure yet because I haven't spoken to him or the medical team this morning. If things go as planned, I expect him to play in the match against Galatasaray on Wednesday. Chiesa was not in good condition before the match, but I feel he is better now. I believe he will return to us."
''ALEXANDER ISAK IS NOT WITH THE TEAM''
