Liverpool's New Signing, Jeremy Jacquet, Faces Setback: Shoulder Injury During Rennes Match
The highly anticipated transfer of Jeremy Jacquet to Liverpool has hit a snag. The 20-year-old French defender, who was set to join the team at the end of the season for a reported £60 million, suffered a shoulder injury during Rennes' Ligue 1 match against Lens. This injury comes as a disappointment, especially after Liverpool had to pull out of a deal to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace last summer.
The incident occurred in the second half of the game, where Jacquet fell awkwardly, mirroring the unfortunate experience of his teammate, Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal, who also sustained a muscular injury. Rennes manager Habib Beye confirmed the severity of the injuries, stating, 'It's definitely quite serious for both of them.'
Jacquet's talent has not gone unnoticed. He has already earned five caps for the France Under-21s and was described as a 'very big talent' by Liverpool manager Arne Slot. Chelsea had also shown interest in signing him, further highlighting his potential.
As Jacquet's journey towards becoming a Liverpool player takes an unexpected turn, fans and experts alike will be keen to see how this situation unfolds and whether he can recover in time to make a positive impact for the club.
