All six have played for the Reds this season, but they may NOT get a medal even though Arne Slot’s men have now wrapped up the league

Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa in action

In April 2025, Liverpool finally confirmed their status as Premier League champions for the just the second time in their history. They wrapped up their 20th English top-flight league trophy with four games to spare, with Arsenal no longer mathematically able to close the gap.

A 5-1 thrashing of Spurs at Anfield was enough to get Arne Slot’s men across the line, in what was a joyous occasion for the club. While that will delight all those associated with the Reds, some squad players may be feeling a little uneasy.

After all, it is no easy feat to win the Premier League – Liverpool had won it just once before – so all senior players will be desperate to get their hands on a winner’s medal come May. For six first-team stars, however, this may not be possible.

Six Liverpool Players at Risk of No Medal

Must play at least five games

The most notable name to potentially miss out is summer signing Federico Chiesa. As of right now, he has played just four games in the league this season – vs Bournemouth, Brentford, Ipswich and Fulham – meaning he is one away from qualifying. Slot didn’t even get him any minutes against Spurs, leaving him on the bench despite having the game and the league all wrapped up.

The other names are less familiar but can all be considered first-team players, despite their youth. Indeed, Tyler Morton, Trey Nyoni and James McConnell may not have played in the league this term but have featured for the senior team in other competitions.

Vitezslav Jaros had featured in the Premier League but is unlikely to pick up more minutes as he got a rare shot in goal when both Alisson and Caoimhin Kelleher were injured for the October match vs Crystal Palace.

Finally, Jayden Danns has no hope of reaching five games after he managed one earlier in the season. This is because he is currently on loan at Championship club Sunderland – in what has unfortunately been an injury-hit spell for the youngster.

Rule Means All Six Could Still Get Medals

40 medals on offer, although more can be granted

However, even if the players fail to make five league appearances, that does not necessarily mean they will miss out on a medal. As it happens, the Premier League hands the champions 40 commemorative medals, which are made of silver and 2.25in (5.7cm) in diameter.

The winning club can give out the medals to anyone they choose – coaches, players and other officials – so long as every player who has made at least five Premier League appearances during the title-winning season gets one.

What’s more, extra medals can be requested and granted by the Premier League Board. This would only happen, though, if more than 39 players have made at least five league appearances during the campaign
