Things had begun so brightly against Southampton. Leoni produced a phenomenal performance that got all the supporters excited.
However, his night ended in heartbreak with the teenager forced to be carried off the pitch on a stretcher.
Further scans revealed that he suffered an injury that will see him miss most of the season - if not all.
The goal now is for Leoni to be back in action towards the end of the campaign and fit and ready for pre-season in 2026.
Until then, Liverpool have to make alternative plans and the club is already working on it.

The Reds will have to think about entering the transfer market in January. They had already wanted to sign another centre-back with Marc Guehi being courted last summer.
Perhaps that is a move they could look to advance. There are other options as well and Richard Hughes will be carefully assessing the best course of the action in the coming months.
Until then, Liverpool will have to find a replacement for Leoni internally.
Especially in the Champions League squad, where the Reds are allowed to replace him with another player after the serious injury that he had suffered.
But who might that be?
