Since making his Premier League debut in the 2-2 draw at Newcastle United, Jacquet has been a mainstay in Iraola's defence, establishing himself as Van Dijk's primary defensive partner.That rapid adaptation is precisely why this hamstring strain comes as such a huge blow. He looked solid until the end and I think he's finished physically also in a good place.

I hope he can continue this development.”Iraola had also expressed his delight when Jacquet received his initial call-up to Zidane's squad last month:“I'm happy for him because he's also received his first international call-up. He's going with France and that is a big national team and I know that he is happy.

He's still very young, he is adapting really well to the Premier League.”What it means for Liverpool against Manchester CityJacquet will now return to Merseyside for detailed scans and assessments by Liverpool’s medical team at the AXA Training Centre.The timing of the injury couldn't be worse. While Gomez offers significant big-match experience, losing Jacquet's unique recovery pace, aerial strength, and aggressive forward passing would represent a major blow against Enzo Maresca attack.Supporters will be hoping the French medical team's cautious approach saved Jacquet from severe damage, and that the young Frenchman can recover in time to take his place at the heart of Liverpool's defence this weekend.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
