Under previous rules, players had to have made a minimum of 10 league appearances to be eligible for a winners’ medal. That was reduced to five appearances in 2011.
Now, teams receive 40 medals to distribute among their squad and staff. All players with five or more Premier League appearances must receive a medal, but after that, it is up to the club to decide who else gets one, whether that be players with fewer than five appearances, or to valued members of the club staff.
That means that Chiesa is still likely to receive a medal for multiple reasons. Firstly, he only requires one more appearance from the last five matches of the season to be guaranteed a medal.
Secondly, even if Chiesa does not get on the pitch again before the end of the season, Liverpool only have 21 players with five or more Premier League appearances in the 2024-25 season, which means the club will still have 19 spare medals to distribute.
