Liverpool’s Leoni Ruled Out for a Year With ACL Injury, Confirms Boss Slot

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed that midfielder Leoni will miss the next 12 months after suffering a serious anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. The setback is one of the most severe for the youngster, who had recently begun to break into the first-team picture.

Slot expressed his disappointment at the news, noting that Leoni had shown promising form before the injury. “It’s a very difficult moment for him and for the team. He will need time, patience, and full support to come back stronger,” the coach said.

An ACL tear typically requires long-term rehabilitation, meaning Leoni will sit out the remainder of the current season and possibly miss the start of the next. The absence leaves Liverpool with fewer midfield options, but Slot emphasized that the club will back the player throughout his recovery process.

Fans and teammates have already sent messages of encouragement, urging the young talent to stay strong during his recovery journey.
