Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed concern over Hugo Ekitike's injury, describing it as 'really bad' after the forward was stretchered off during the team's Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. The injury occurred just before the half-hour mark, with Ekitike clutching his right ankle area in visible pain. He was replaced by Mohamed Salah, and Slot suggested the injury was 'not good,' sparking fears of a potential Achilles injury. Speaking after the match, Slot stated, 'He's not good.
We could all see that it didn't look good.' The injury is a significant blow, especially with the World Cup approaching, where Ekitike was likely to feature for France if fit. Despite the setback, Slot took positives from the match, citing the team's improved performance and the fans' support. Liverpool's focus now shifts to securing a Champions League spot for next season, starting with their upcoming derby against Everton.
