Giovanni Leoni sends message to Liverpool supporters after injury
Giovanni Leoni has thanked Liverpool fans for their show of support after he was stretchered off against Southampton on Tuesday night.
The 18-year-old defender saw his Reds debut cut short in the 81st minute of the 2-1 Carabao Cup victory over Saints at Anfield.
Leoni landed awkwardly following a challenge on the touchline late in the contest and required the help of medical staff to leave the field of play.
Arne Slot reported shortly after full-time that the Italian would need to undergo tests in subsequent days to clarify the severity of the issue.
Taking to social media to address fans on Wednesday, Leoni wrote: “I want to sincerely thank every single person who has shown me support in this difficult moment.
“It wasn’t the debut I had always dreamed of, but I will give everything to be back playing in this magical stadium as soon as possible.
“Thank you so much!”
