Timeline pushed back

Leoni's timeline for a return to full training remains unclear as he continues his recovery from ACL surgery, according to coach Andoni Iraola, per ThisisAnfield. "We must also find a way to replace him [in the short term]."

Analysis: Leoni has been present at the AXA Training Centre over the past week as he closes in on a return from the long term injury, though earlier hopes of his availability for the start of preseason now appear unlikely. Iraola cited Leoni among several significant injury concerns entering preseason, alongside teammates Hugo Ekitike and Conor Bradley, calling the situation a complicating factor as the club looks to strengthen the squad. It remains to be seen whether the defender will be available before Liverpool's upcoming tour of the United States. Leoni is expected to continue building toward full training as his recovery progresses.

Starting rehabilitation

Leoni (knee) told reporters he has started to train. "Now the hardest part is over. I'm doing rehab, I'm in the swimming pool, the gym. For a footballer, an injury like this can be the most difficult moment of his career but now I just want to train my head to come back stronger than before."

Analysis: Leoni has already been deemed to miss the season due to a torn ACL, but is seeing some progress in his recovery, as the defender is starting his rehabilitation. This is still positive, as he is building strength in the early stages of recovery. HE will turn his focus to the next season as he hopes to shape out a spot with the team, not appearing in his first season due to injury.
