Following Liverpool's Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, manager Arne Slot expressed concern over Hugo Ekitike's injury, describing it as 'really bad'. Ekitike was stretchered off in the first half with a suspected serious lower leg injury.
The French forward had made a significant impact this season, scoring 19 goals for Liverpool and France. His injury may jeopardize his participation in the upcoming World Cup. Slot noted that while the team's Champions League campaign has ended, their focus now shifts to securing a spot in next season's competition. Despite the loss, Slot took positives from the game, highlighting the team's improvement compared to their previous match and praising the fans for their support.
