Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed Giovanni Leoni is likely to miss an entire year as a result of the knee injury sustained against Southampton in midweek.
Leoni was making his first appearance for Liverpool following his £26 million ($34.8 million) switch from Parma when he went down with what was quickly revealed to be an ACL injury. The teenage defender has taken a positive stance on social media but, according to Slot, has been struggling behind the scenes.
