Ekitike Injury Update: 'Really Bad' Says Slot After Liverpool's Champions League Exit
Liverpool coach Arne Slot has expressed concern over Hugo Ekitike's injury, describing it as 'really bad' after the player was stretchered off during their 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 the injury was 'not good' and hinted at the possibility of an Achilles injury. The forward has scored 19 goals for Liverpool and France this season and was likely to feature for his country at the World Cup if fit.
