Slot confirms Leoni out for 'around a year' after tearing ACL on debut
"He is not in a good place because he tore his ACL which means he will be out around a year. Being so young and coming to a new country and playing so well in your first game, it's very hard to take the positives. There is never a positive side but you try to look at that and that is that he is still so young and he has so many years still go to after he recovers from a terrible injury."
"I don't think one day before we play them, talking about that [Guehi] again - he is a Crystal Palace player and he has been very important for them as long as he has been there. We have to prepare for Crystal Palace who are a very good team. I think they haven't lost 17 games in a row now and he is part of that team. They are a difficult team to beat but we are also a difficult team to beat."
Giovanni Leoni, an 18-year-old centre-back who joined from Parma in the summer, tore his ACL during the Carabao Cup win and will be out for around a year. Leoni had an impressive debut performance before sustaining the injury. Liverpool progressed to the Carabao Cup fourth round but lost the promising youngster to a long-term injury. The squad now has just three senior centre-backs available for the upcoming away fixture at Crystal Palace. Marc Guehi remained a Crystal Palace player after deadline day, and Alexander Isak could start with Hugo Ekitike suspended.
