Liverpool ‘s new £60 million signing Jeremy Jacquet has suffered a ‘serious’ shoulder injury with Rennes.

The 20-year-old landed awkwardly in the second half of Rennes’ 3-1 defeat away to Lens in Ligue 1 on Saturday night.

Jacquet clearly looked in pain as he was helped down the tunnel by a memeber of Rennes’ backroom staff.

‘For Jeremy, it’s his shoulder, and for Abdelhamid [Ait Boudlal] it’s muscular,’ Rennes head coach Habib Beye said in his post-match interview.

‘We’ll have time to see, but it’s definitely quite serious for both of them.’

Liverpool beat Chelsea to signing Jacquet for £55 million plus £5m in add-ons on July 1 .

The France Under-21 international has signed a five-year contract with Liverpool, which includes the option of a further 12 months.

When asked about Liverpool’s decision to sign Jacquet , Arne Slot said: ‘Very pleasing, of course.

‘He’s a very big talent and maybe even more than a talent, but we speak about talent because of his age.

‘We weren’t the only one interested in him. It’s another big compliment to the people working really hard to sign players because we were able to sign such a big talent.’
