Overview
- Leoni has resumed individual work on the grass at Liverpool’s AXA Training Centre after ACL surgery earlier in the season.
- Liverpool expect him to rejoin full team sessions by the end of April, with pre-season involvement planned if his knee responds well.
- Club staff are managing a staged return that matches typical ACL timelines, which often run many months and call for caution with contact work.
- His availability for pre-season could shift planning toward integrating internal options rather than adding more defenders from outside.
- Leoni tore his ACL on his debut against Southampton, and Arne Slot initially said the injury would likely keep the 19-year-old out for about a year.
