Leoni suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his debut for the club in a game against Southampton in the League Cup in September.
He recently posted updates to his Instagram that showed that he was back to doing individual work at the AXA Training Center.

Knowing Leoni is ready to go entering the offseason will probably have ramifications for recruitment, with Jérémy Jacquet already confirmed to join the centre-back ranks and Ibrahima Konaté potentially leaving.
