Liverpool aren’t without injury problems heading into the new season, but reliable journalist James Pearce has provided a key update regarding one player. But we can take a lot of positives, but also a lot of negatives from today.” Someone who didn’t feature for Liverpool at all was new signing Jeremy Jacquet, who continues to recover from injury since his summer move from Rennes.

Taking to X on Sunday, though, Pearce claimed in a 10-word update that the Frenchman’s return is imminent, saying: “He should be fine to feature v Como next weekend.” Will Jeremy Jacquet be fit to start for Liverpool vs Newcastle? This is a big boost for Liverpool, with Jacquet expected to play a part in one of the two friendlies against Como at Anfield this Sunday, making his first appearance for the Reds.

Whether he is deemed ready to face Newcastle United at St James’ Park in the Premier League opener is up for debate, though, and it feels more likely that he won’t. Iraola has a potential headache at the heart of his defence going into that match, in terms of who is going to partner him at centre-back if it isn’t Jacquet.
