Ekitike Injury Update: Liverpool Boss Arne Slot Reveals Worrying News

Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed concern over Hugo Ekitike's injury, describing it as 'really bad' after the player was stretchered off during the team's Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. The injury occurred just before the half-hour mark at Anfield, with Ekitike clutching his right ankle area in visible pain. Slot suggested that the injury was 'not good' and that the player had gone home in the second half. The extent of the injury will be further investigated tomorrow. Ekitike has scored 19 goals for Liverpool and France this season and was likely to feature for his country at the World Cup if fit.

The team's attention now turns to ensuring they qualify for next season's Champions League competition as their Premier League campaign resumes.
