Liverpool winger Giovanni Leoni is approaching a potential return after spending almost a year sidelined with an ACL injury suffered on his debut, according to reports from The Athletic and Yahoo Sports. Both outlets describe the teenager as still in a careful phase of recovery, with his return not yet confirmed but viewed as getting closer.
The articles note that Leoni’s layoff has been lengthy, spanning roughly the best part of a year, and that his rehabilitation is progressing in steps rather than a full return immediately. The Athletic frames the update around how Leoni’s cautious return could affect Liverpool’s plans once he is match-ready. Yahoo Sports similarly focuses on the injury timeline and current status, reiterating that Leoni remains on the road back.
Separately, The Athletic also ties the broader context of Liverpool’s situation to the arrival of Andoni Iraola, describing it as a potential boost, while Yahoo Sports references conversations around Iraola in the same update. Neither source indicates a specific return date in the provided summaries.
