Leoni (undisclosed) is set for further assessment on his injury to decide the issue following his early exit against Southampton on Tuesday, according to manager Arne Slot. "Of course, he is down because for him it didn't feel good immediately, but this is something now we have to assess. Normally, these things don't happen in five to 10 minutes, and you have to wait for tomorrow to see how he comes in and then maybe do an MRI scan to know more about how serious it is."

Leoni is set for some further testing on his injury after he was stretchered off the field during Tuesday's Carabao Cup match against Southampton. This will be something to watch for the young defender, as he could be set for a period of time on the sidelines. However, if he were to miss time, this would be a minor loss, as he has yet to see the field this season and is serving in a depth role.
