Liverpool s heartbroken? 31 million Italian internationals were seriously injured in their debut! They were carried off from a stretcher and cried, and may be reimbursed for the season

In a focus game in the third round of the British League Cup that ended in the early morning of September 24, Liverpool beat Southampton 2-1 at home and successfully advanced to the top 16. Liverpool's victory in this game was costly. In addition to Ekitic's suspension of the Premier League next round due to undressing and dyeing red, new aid center back Leoni also left the court with serious injury at the end of the game. In this summer window, Liverpool spent 31 million euros to introduce Leoni, who was only 18 years old, from Parma. This talented central defender has even been called up by the Italian national team. But because of the existence of Van Dijk and Connate, he has been delayed in making his debut after joining Liverpool.

In this League Cup, he finally made his first appearance in Liverpool's career. During the time of appearance, the Italian guy showed his outstanding overall view and the hardness that a top central defender should have, and he had a Van Dyke style. He succeeded in three consecutive tops and was the highest in the game. He also scored a good score of 7.1 points.

However, at the end of the game, after a shovel near the sideline, Leoni accidentally fell to the ground and couldn't get up. He was unable to hold on and was immediately carried off on a stretcher. When the Italian guy left the field, he even shed tears of sadness and looked serious.

After the game, coach Slott also confirmed that Leoni's knee was in a knee-out position (the knee was shifted inward). The injury was a non-contact injury and had knee buckles and torsions, which are suspected to be anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. If this is true, Leoni may have to stay away from the field for more than 9 months and may be reimbursed in advance this season.

If Leoni is seriously injured, Liverpool's already weak central defender position will be weakened again. There is only one glass man Gomez on the bench. Considering that he will have to fight on four fronts this season, Liverpool spent money in advance to sign Guy in the winter window, which may be a wise choice.
