In the third round of the League Cup, Liverpool beat Southampton 2-1 at home, and Leoni was carried out on a stretcher in 81 minutes of his debut.

Injury analyst Physio Scout analyzed through the game video (cover and picture below) that Leoni may suffer a cruciate ligament injury. If it is confirmed that the cruciate ligament is injured, it may be injured for more than 9 months.

Analysts said: "Because the live video is extremely limited, it is difficult to make accurate judgments, but the knee joint in the screenshot shows a worrying attitude. There is no physical contact during injury, knee retraction and rotational movement, which makes me suspect that he may experience anterior cruciate ligament injury. However, since the live footage does not provide clearer playback, it is still difficult to make a conclusion."

"Potential recovery cycle: If it is a cruciate ligament injury, it will be more than 9 months; if it is a meniscus injury, about 3-4 months (not sure) if it is a bone injury or contusion, within 1 week."

"The team doctor seems to have done a Rahman test for Leoni - this test is used to diagnose an a cruciate ligament rupture. The final severity of the injury needs to be confirmed by an image scan."
