Liverpool's imminent signing, Jeremy Jacquet, has encountered a worrying shoulder injury while playing for his current team, Rennes. This incident occurred in a Ligue 1 match against Lens, where Jacquet was forced to leave the pitch near the 70-minute mark, visibly in discomfort and clutching his arm. Liverpool secured an agreement to sign the young defender in the final days of the January transfer window, but the move will only become official in the summer, adding to their current injury woes.

Jacquet's injury could significantly impact Liverpool's plans for the upcoming season as they already face challenges with squad fitness. Although the Reds were optimistic about his arrival, the latest injury news throws a shadow over those expectations. In the match where he was injured, Rennes had taken an early lead but succumbed to a 3-1 defeat to Lens, which may have further frustrated Liverpool fans eager to see Jacquet perform successfully in the Premier League.

Liverpool will be closely monitoring Jacquet's recovery, hoping for a speedy rehabilitation process. Given the current context of the club’s defensive lineup and squad depth, his ability to return to full fitness will have implications not only for his integration into the team but also for Liverpool's overall performance during the forthcoming season. With the transfer window complexities and injuries already at play, the situation surrounding Jacquet is one that Liverpool will need to navigate carefully in the coming months.
