Overview
- Jacquet left the field in clear pain in the 69th minute of Rennes’ 3-1 defeat to Lens, screaming and clutching his shoulder as he was helped off.
- Rennes head coach Habib Beye described the problem as "definitely quite serious," with the club yet to issue a definitive medical timeline.
- L’Equipe has reported that surgery could be required, a development that remains unconfirmed as assessments continue and Liverpool monitor the situation.
- Liverpool agreed a deal reported at £55m plus £5m in add-ons for a summer arrival, with Jacquet passing his medical days before the injury and remaining on loan at Rennes.
- The setback affects a Rennes regular with around 19–21 starts this season and heightens concern for Liverpool’s defensive planning given existing injuries across their back line.
