Sadly, Giovanni Leoni will be out for months. He has a Ruptured ACL injury. He is to undergo surgery and the long rehab soon. I believe Romano has already reported on it.

Terrible news for the young lad, especially after moving to a new country and settling at a new club. I ruptured my ACL 22 years ago and despite the op it was never right again, thus ending my football and rugby playing days. Hopefully he will have the best of everything to help get him back on his feet ASAP and can pick up on his very promising career.

The only positive is he’s at a great club, with leaders who have suffered the same and is young enough to recover fully and still have the career his talent should afford him.
He was genuinely excellent last night. He will be again one day soon.

Oh what a massive blow.
The fact that we have VVD at the club, who is I'm sure a role model for the lad, and who himself came back from a similar injury 5 years ago and got back to the same heights he was at before, and he was 10 years older than the YLFP, is what is giving hope of a full recovery.
Good luck Giovanni, we are all rooting for you.

Well said Zed! Giovanni looked great last night. What an unfortunate yet devastating injury but there's huge support around him currently and a full roadmap for full recovery already moving. He's with the very best; in all and every sense of the word. The very best of luck Giovanni, I'm already looking forward to seeing you back on the Anfield turf.

Well said Zed and Why. Hope the young lad recovers quickly. He looks absolutely top class.

I'll second that sentiment Zed and of course he has Chiesa with him who has also recovered from and ACL tear and further resulting injuries. Leoni is very young and will most definitely be back next season stronger and with better English and a taste for a bowl of scouse.
