Liverpool Await Scan Results After Giovanni Leoni's Debut Injury in Carabao Cup Win

The former Parma teenager had impressed on debut until an awkward fall cut short his night.

Overview

  • Giovanni Leoni, 18, was stretchered off against Southampton after landing awkwardly near the touchline.
  • Arne Slot said the player "didn't feel good immediately" and that further assessment, potentially including an MRI, will follow.
  • Slot declined to identify the specific area of concern, saying only that "it's not his shoulder."
  • Milos Kerkez replaced the debutant after a lengthy stoppage.
  • Liverpool advanced 2-1 to the fourth round, with Alexander Isak scoring his first for the club and Hugo Ekitike netting late before a second yellow for removing his shirt.
