LIVERPOOL (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – A torn cruciate ligament in his left knee and a long layoff loom. Arne Slot also confirmed the rumors about the serious injury Giovanni Leoni suffered on Tuesday evening, late in the League Cup match against Southampton, in what was also his first competitive match for Liverpool.
“He’ll be out for about a year,” the Dutch coach said. “Being so young, coming to a new country and playing so well in his first match, it’s very difficult to find positives. There’s never a positive side to these cases, but you still try to look at things from that perspective: he’s still very young and will have many years of his career ahead of him once he recovers from this bad injury. There are many examples around the world. He’s only 18 years old and still has a lot of time ahead of him.”
