Leoni's impressive debut had many fans praising his strength and agility on the field, making the injury a significant setback for the team and their manager, Arne Slot. Slot will need to adjust the team's lineup to accommodate the loss of Leoni.
After the injury, medical staff evaluated Leoni on the field, and he was taken away on a stretcher, disappointing the Anfield crowd.
Despite the setback, Liverpool has an option to replace Leoni in their Champions League squad due to UEFA's regulations. If an outfield player is expected to be out for at least 60 days, the club can make a change to their squad immediately.
As a result, Federico Chiesa is a potential replacement for Leoni, given his recent impressive form.
