LIVERPOOL

Giovanni Leoni had to come off with a knee injury in the second half of the Liverpool vs. Southampton clash.

Extremely limited video makes this harder to judge, but I’d be worried that his knee falls into a valgus position in this screenshot.

Non-contact nature, knee collapsing in and pivoting nature make me suspicious of an ACL injury. However, this is harder to call due to the live broadcast not showing a clearer replay of it.

 

Potential Recovery Time:

If ACL: 9+ months

If meniscus: ~3-4 months (varies)

If bone/bruise: <1 week

 

Physios seemed to have readied Leoni in a position to do a Lachmann’s test – to test for an ACL rupture. Scans will be needed to determine the extent of the injury.

 

Arne Slot added: ‘If a player goes off like that, it is normally not a good sign.’

 

If you have any further videos, or alternate replay angles, please send them over via DM and I’ll be happy to confirm/update my analysis.
