Liverpool defender Jeremy Jacquet has been ruled out of the France squad after suffering a hamstring strain on international duty. The injury was confirmed on Monday evening, leaving the Reds without a defensive option as they prepare for a key Premier League fixture.
Jacquet was left out of the France national team squad following the injury. The omission was reported late on Monday, 5 October 2026. The 23-year-old defender had been with the French squad when the strain occurred.
Squad impact and upcoming schedule
This setback comes as Liverpool build momentum in the league, sitting sixth with nine points from five games. Their next match is a significant home clash against league leaders Manchester City on 11 October. The Reds are currently six points behind City in the table and will be looking to close that gap.
Jeremy Jacquet is a defender for Liverpool F.C. And his absence reduces the manager's options at the back. The club has not provided a timeline for his recovery or confirmed if he will be available for the Manchester City match. Supporters can check the latest availability on the club's injuries page.
Liverpool's recent form shows four wins and one draw from their last five matches, including a 1-0 victory at Bournemouth. They face a City side they lost 4-0 to in April. The full schedule for this important period is available on our fixtures list. The team returns to action at Anfield next Saturday.
