Liverpool manager Arne Slot has expressed concern over the severity of Hugo Ekitike's injury, which occurred during the team's Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. Ekitike was stretchered off the field after suffering a lower leg injury, with Slot suggesting it 'looks really bad.' The French forward had made a significant impact this season, scoring 19 goals for both Liverpool and France.
His injury may jeopardize his chances of participating in the upcoming World Cup. Despite the setback, Slot found positives in Liverpool's performance, citing the team's improvement compared to their previous match against PSG. The Reds will now focus on securing a spot in next season's Champions League, starting with their upcoming derby against Everton.
