Overview
- French journalist Francois Rauzy reports there is no guarantee Jacquet will play again this season, with discussions continuing between Liverpool and Rennes over next steps.
- The centre-back injured his left shoulder in Rennes’ loss to Lens and has not featured since, with then-manager Habib Beye describing the issue as serious.
- L’Equipe has reported surgery is a possibility, though not confirmed more than two weeks on, and a procedure could extend his layoff by several months.
- Current indications suggest pre-season should not be affected, though a season-ending setback would require a carefully managed return to full training.
- Liverpool agreed a deal worth around £60m for a summer move with a loan-back to Rennes, and past accounts have noted an earlier shoulder problem in his youth.
