Liverpool’s future defender Jeremy Jacquet has spoken publicly for the first time since undergoing surgery on the shoulder injury that cut short his season at Rennes.
The 20-year-old centre-back is set to join Liverpool this summer after the club agreed a major deal for one of the most highly regarded young defenders in France.
However, his campaign in Ligue 1 seemingly came to an abrupt end last month after suffering a serious shoulder injury during Rennes’ defeat to Lens.
Following the procedure, Jacquet posted an update for supporters on Instagram confirming the surgery was successful.
He wrote: “As announced by the club, the operation went very well. A long phase of rehabilitation is about to begin, I will give it my all during this time to come back stronger!”
The message suggests the young French defender is already focused on his recovery ahead of the next stage of his career.
Injury could mean Jacquet has played his final Rennes match
Unfortunately for Rennes supporters, the injury likely means Jacquet has already played his final game for the club.
The defender had been enjoying an impressive season before the setback.
The shoulder injury occurred during the February 7 match against Lens, when the 20-year-old suddenly clutched his shoulder inside his own penalty area before leaving the pitch.
Medical specialists consulted in France suggested that recovery timelines for this type of injury can vary significantly.
Depending on the procedure performed, the expected recovery period could range from four to six months before full contact football is possible again.
