He was seriously injured in his debut! Slot confirms: Leoni s cruciate ligament torn, will be injured for about one year
Liverpool coach Slot confirmed that 18-year-old new player Leoni had a torn cruciate ligament and would be injured for about one year.
Slott said: "He is in poor condition at the moment because he tore the ACL, which means he will be out for about a year. To be so young to come to a new country and perform well in the first game, it's hard to accept the positive side now. But what you're trying to see is that he's still very young and has a long career to go after recovering from a serious injury. "
Meanwhile, Slott also confirmed that Chiesa will be signing up for Liverpool's Champions League roster as a supplement. In the third round of the League Cup, Liverpool beat Southampton 2-1, and Leoni made Liverpool's debut, but retreated in the 81st minute.
Leoni joins Liverpool from Parma this summer with 31 million euros, and his German turnover is 18 million euros.
