New Liverpool signing Jeremy Jacquet could require surgery on a shoulder injury, a setback that has put the remainder of his season on loan with Rennes in doubt.
The 19-year-old defender, who has agreed a move to Anfield, has been dealing with the problem and is now facing the prospect of an operation that would keep him out for an extended period.
Jacquet is currently with Rennes and the injury threatens to derail his plans to finish the campaign in Ligue 1 before linking up fully with Liverpool.
The situation is being monitored, with the player’s next steps dependent on medical advice, but surgery is being considered as the clearest route to resolve the issue.
If he does go under the knife, Jacquet would be ruled out for the rest of the season, leaving Rennes without him during the run-in and delaying any on-field momentum ahead of his switch to Merseyside.
