BREAKING: Liverpool’s new signing, Jeremy Jacquet, faces a potential season-ending injury just as he prepares to join the club after a £60 million transfer. The 20-year-old defender suffered a serious shoulder injury during a match against RC Lens on February 7, 2026, raising urgent concerns about his recovery.
Rennes, where Jacquet currently plays, is still evaluating the severity of the injury. Following the 3-0 defeat to Lens, former head coach Hebib Beye described Jacquet’s condition as “serious.” The young talent has already missed two games and will not participate in the upcoming clash against Toulouse this Saturday.
Newly appointed Rennes manager Franck Haise provided an update, stating, “I don’t know exactly yet. Jérémy is undergoing treatment, rehabilitation, he’s working in the gym, that’s where we are at the moment.” Reports from Ouest France indicate that Jacquet may require surgery, and his history of shoulder issues raises concerns about his long-term fitness.
Liverpool remains in close contact with Rennes to monitor Jacquet’s medical situation. Coach Arne Slot expressed satisfaction with the signing, highlighting Jacquet’s exceptional talent and his critical role in the club’s strategy for acquiring young, promising players. “We weren’t the only ones interested in him, so this is a big compliment for those working daily to sign players,” Slot emphasized.
As Rennes pushes for European qualification, the absence of Jacquet could significantly impact their defensive lineup. The situation is developing rapidly, and the next few days will be crucial in determining if Jacquet will be able to return to the pitch this season.
Fans and analysts alike are watching closely, as Jacquet’s recovery could influence both Rennes’ campaign and Liverpool’s plans for next season. Stay tuned for more updates on this urgent situation.
