"If it's an instability (dislocation or equivalent), you have to expect about five months for a return to normal contact, duels, challenges, and falling without problems. Four months for those with a rapid rehabilitation plan and six months for those with a slower one."
"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!"
"Depending on the return timeline, it may leave Liverpool short of options at centre-back going into 2026/27. There has been a suggestion this season that Joe Gomez will leave the Merseyside outfit before the next campaign."
Jacquet agreed to a £60m transfer to Liverpool with a summer 2026 arrival date but suffered a serious shoulder injury requiring surgery. Medical experts indicate recovery typically takes four to six months for return to full contact play, potentially keeping him sidelined until August. Liverpool's defensive options face uncertainty, as Joe Gomez may depart, Ibrahima Konate's contract expires July 1, and young prospect Giovanni Leoni remains recovering from injury. This could leave Virgil van Dijk as the only immediately available senior centre-back. Jacquet expressed commitment to rehabilitation through social media, though his exact return timeline remains unclear.
