Federico Chiesa posted a loving message to his wife as she left the UK. The Italian forward was one of few Liverpool players to impress in the Carabao Cup Final earlier this month, as his late goal against Newcastle United sparked hopes of an unlikely comeback.
The Reds ultimately lost the Wembley final 2-1 after a poor performance against the Magpies, who took a two-goal lead with goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak.
That was only Chiesa's 11th appearance of the season. Indeed, he has made just three brief substitute appearances in the Premier League, totalling less than half an hour on the pitch. In all competitions, the forward has only three starts.
Away from the pitch, Chiesa is married to Lucia Bramani. The couple married in a stunning ceremony at the Grosseto Cathedral in Tuscany last July.
Lucia moved to the UK with Federico when the Italian forward agreed to join Liverpool from Juventus in an £11m transfer at the end of August.
In an Instagram post yesterday, Chiesa sent a heartfelt message to Lucia as she marked her 25th birthday. He posted a picture of them from a wedding and a holiday last year.
In the accompanying caption translated from Italian, Chiesa said: “Happy birthday my love, I Love you!” This was followed by a series of red love heart emojis.
Lucia replied in the comments section, saying: “I love you my love.” Hundreds of fans also sent their support to her in the comments section. One said: “What a beautiful couple.” Another said: "Congratulations." A third added: “Best wishes.”
Lucia shared other birthday messages on her story, including from lingerie firm Goldenpoint. She has worked with them before and the business gave her a bouquet of flowers as she arrived in Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands for a new shoot. Lucia said: “Just arrived in Fuerteventura for the new campaign with my @goldenpointofficialfamily.”

Lucia is also a psychology graduate from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan. She regularly shares updates on her personal life to her 263,000 followers on Instagram.
Lucia appears to be enjoying life on Merseyside so far. In her latest Instagram post published last month, she posted a series of pictures including one of her at the Albert Dock in Liverpool city centre.
She was also photographed walking on the famous Anfield turf after a home game earlier this month. There was a clip of her and Chiesa in a supermarket together too.
Liverpool's next game is the Merseyside derby against Everton at Anfield on April 2. The Reds are currently 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
