The bad news for Leipzig at home to Liverpool did not stop with the defeat, their third in as many games in the Champions League .

This Thursday, the German team announced that its biggest star, Xavi Simons , suffered a serious injury to his left ankle and will have to stop for “several weeks”, and the Sky Sport channel says that the Dutchman will only return to the competition in 2025.

The possibility that Simons – three goals and two assists in 11 games this season – will have to undergo surgery to resolve the ligament injury in his left ankle will not be ruled out.
