Jeremy Jacquet faces a race against time to be available for the start of Liverpool’s pre-season preparations after it was confirmed he is unlikely to play again this campaign.<\/p>\n
Jacquet<\/a> became the first Reds<\/a> arrival of the summer when a \u00a360million deal was agreed with Rennes last month to sign the centre-back in the next transfer window.<\/p>\n However, less than a week later the 20-year-old suffered a serious shoulder injury that forced him off 69 minutes into the French side’s 3-1 defeat at Lens.<\/p>\n It was ultimately determined Jacquet required surgery with the player going under the knife last week to repair the damage.<\/p>\n FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
