Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed serious concern after new signing Giovanni Leoni was injured during his debut for the club. Leoni, who started the match impressively, was forced off the field after a nasty fall while chasing an opponent near the touchline. The Italian defender tangled his legs, resulting in a harsh tumble, and also sustained a head knock during the incident.
Slot described the injury as "not a good sign" and fear that it could be a significant setback for the young defender. The injury occurred early in the game, preventing Leoni from continuing and leaving the coaching staff worried about its severity. Immediate reports indicated fears of a serious injury, possibly involving the knee, but full details are awaited following medical examinations.
Leoni's promising first appearance had showcased his quality and defensive capabilities, which made the injury all the more disappointing for Liverpool, who recently invested in the young talent. The injury also raises questions about Liverpool’s defensive options in upcoming fixtures, especially with the team preparing for matches against important rivals such as Crystal Palace.
The club and medical team are expected to provide an update soon, but the initial reaction suggests this injury might sideline Leoni for an extended period. Fans and staff alike are hoping for a swift and full recovery to restore Liverpool’s defensive strength.
