Liverpool May Invoke New UEFA Rule to Replace Injured Defender

Liverpool could take advantage of a freshly amended UEFA rule after defender Geovani Leoni went down with a suspected ACL injury. The change allows clubs to register a replacement player during the Champions League group stage if a player is sidelined for at least 60 days. That opens the door for Federico Chiesa to be added to Liverpool’s squad, even though he wasn’t in the original registration. The timing is crucial as the team prepares for a key fixture in Istanbul. For Liverpool, this regulation tweak could be a lifeline amid injury challenges.
