New Liverpool signing Jérémy Jacquet may require surgery on shoulder injury | OneFootball

Jérémy Jacquet (20) sustained an injury to his left shoulder during Stade Rennais’ 3-1 defeat to RC Lens on Saturday. L’Équipe understands that the new Liverpool signing may require surgery, which could compromise the end of his season.

Jacquet signed for Liverpool on deadline day, however, he will only move to Anfield at the end of the season. He will see out the remainder of the season at his formative club, but exactly how much he will play has now come into question. 

The defender was forced off with a shoulder injury in the 69th minute of the defeat to Lens. Post-match, manager Habib Beye confirmed the nature of the injury, adding that it seemed “quite serious”. There are now fears that Jacquet could miss several weeks of action, as surgery on the injured shoulder cannot be ruled out, as L’Équipe report. 

To make matters worse for Les Rennais, one of their other centre-backs, Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal, sustained a thigh injury on Saturday and is also expected to spend a period on the sidelines.
