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. Ekitike suffered an apparent lower leg injury and was replaced by Mohamed Salah. Slot suggested the injury was 'not good,' fueling fears of a possible Achilles injury. The forward has scored 19 goals for Liverpool and France this season and was likely to feature in the World Cup if fit.
Meanwhile, Slot took positives from the match, praising the team's improved performance and the fans' support. However, the team's failure to capitalize on scoring opportunities and the overturned penalty decision marred the evening. With their Champions League campaign over, Liverpool now focuses on securing a spot in next season's competition, starting with Sunday's derby against Everton.
