Chiesa was initially named on the bench for Wednesday night’s Champions League win over Marseille in France; however, he was later forced to withdraw after the warm-up due to a knock.
The forward will be checked today to determine whether he can make the journey to Vitality Stadium, but Slot confirmed the Reds otherwise have no new issues to contend with ahead of Saturday’s 5.30pm GMT kick-off.
He told his pre-match press conference on Friday morning: “Federico wasn’t able to be on the bench on Wednesday. There was a recovery session yesterday, so we have to wait and see today.
“It’s difficult for me to say whether he is available for Bournemouth. We don’t expect him to be out for long, so it would be 50/50 maybe if he is available for tomorrow.
“For the rest, at this moment in time, no-one picked up a knock, no-one had a problem after the game, but sometimes when you start training again you can feel something.
“But I expect all the same players to be available for tomorrow and Calvin Ramsay is a player who is not available for the Champions League but will be available for the Premier League, so that’s another player to add.”
