Giovanni Leoni Injury: Year out confirmed

Leoni (knee) is expected o miss a full year due to the ACL injury he suffered against Southampton, according to manager Arne Slot."He is not in a good place because he tore his ACL which means he will be out around a year."

Leoni was already ruled out for the season, and it now appears he will miss the start of the 2026/27 campaign as well. The defender was making his debut with Liverpool when he suffered the injury. Leoni is still young and has time to recover, but it's a blow for both Liverpool and Italy, as Leoni progressed quickly in the last season.
