Liverpool star Giovanni Leoni shares a message of gratitude towards the fanbase after his Southampton debut ended with an injury.
Leoni made a promising debut, but it ended prematurely in the 81st minute when she landed poorly after a challenge.
Liverpool signed the 18-year-old from Parma for a fee of £26m during the summer transfer window to bolster their defence.
Apart from Gomez, Liverpool boss Arne Slot could deploy defensive midfielder Wataru Endo as a makeshift centerback in any emergency.
According to Sky Sports, Leoni suffered a torn cruciate ligament injury and faces months on the sidelines at the moment.
Leoni used his Instagram account to send a sincere message of gratitude to the Liverpool fans amid his serious injury against Southampton.
The 18-year-old impressed both the fans and the football experts with his maturity and composure during his debut.
According to Fotmob, Leoni made the most accurate passes with 97% passing accuracy in the game between Liverpool and Southampton.
