- Jacquet confirmed on Instagram that his shoulder operation went well and that a long rehabilitation has begun.
- Rennes head coach Franck Haise said the defender will return to the club next week to rehab and is probably unlikely to play again this season.
- Liverpool and Rennes have been in regular contact over his treatment, with Liverpool hopeful he can join pre-season in July though this is not guaranteed.
- French medical specialists cited by media estimate a four-to-six-month window before a return to full-contact football, leaving late-summer availability uncertain.
- Liverpool agreed a reported £60m deal for the 20-year-old to join in the summer, a timeline that intersects with defensive concerns around international call-ups and injuries.
