Episode Details

Liverpool’s defense is in deep trouble heading into preseason, with only two young center-backs—Jérémy Jacquet and Geovanni Leoni—potentially fit, both recovering from major injuries. With Virgil van Dijk likely sidelined until late July and Ibrahima Konaté’s future uncertain, new manager Arne Slot inherits a leaky backline that conceded 53 goals last season. Even if Jacquet and Leoni return, the squad may need at least one new defender—especially if van Dijk’s farewell season is looming. Throwing two inexperienced players into the starting XI isn’t a gamble worth taking.
