The 19-year-old defender suffered an ACL injury on his debut for the club back in September. However, the young Italian suffered an ACL tear on his Liverpool debut back in September against Southampton in the Carabao Cup.

In what turned from a career highlight to a day of despair, Leoni saw his season derailed and he has since spent the last six months in the treatment room and in the gym, working his way back to full fitness. As reported at the beginning of the month, via Dominik King in his Liverpool Confidential, Leoni has impressed those at Liverpool’s Kirkby base with his dedication to gym work.

That grit and determination was echoed in his social media post that he put up following his injury, with the caption reading: “I want to sincerely thank every single person who has shown me support in this difficult moment. Giovanni Leoni was signed with the intention of him seeing Liverpool’s backline into the future and many will be hoping that he will form a fierce alliance with Jeremy Jacquet, the fellow talented young defender who will link up with Liverpool in the summer.
