Overview
- Leoni shared new images from the AXA Training Centre that show ball work on the pitch during a light, non-contact session.
- He is recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered on his Liverpool debut in a September cup win over Southampton, followed by surgery that month.
- Teammates, including Hugo Ekitike, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley, posted public messages encouraging his comeback.
- Liverpool plan to reintroduce him with caution ahead of pre-season, with his recovery considered alongside recent centre-back additions Jeremy Jacquet, Mor Talla Ndiaye, Noah Adekoya and Ifeanyi Ndukwe.
- ACL rehab typically moves from gym and pool work to running, then ball work before contact training, which matches the stage Leoni has now reached.
