Incoming Liverpool defender Jeremy Jacquet was stretchered off in tears after sustaining a severe shoulder injury during Rennes’ Ligue 1 defeat to Lens on Saturday.
Liverpool’s newest recruit, Jeremy Jacquet, faced a devastating setback just days after finalizing a £60m move to Anfield.
The 20-year-old defender fell awkwardly during Rennes’ match against Lens, screaming in agony before medical staff assisted him from the pitch.
The injury heightens concerns for Liverpool manager Arne Slot, who is already navigating a significant defensive crisis ahead of the player’s summer arrival.
Slot recently praised the youngster’s potential, emphasizing his importance to the club’s long-term strategy.
“He’s a very big talent and maybe even more than talent but we speak about talent because of his age,” Slot remarked.
“Second, because we weren’t the only one interested in him so it’s a big compliment to the people working really hard to sign players.” The club now awaits further medical updates.
