Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed his concern over Hugo Ekitike's injury, describing it as 'really bad' after the player was stretchered off during the team's Champions League loss to Paris Saint-Germain. The injury occurred just before the half-hour mark, with Ekitike clutching his right ankle area in visible pain.
Slot suggested that the injury was 'not good' and that Ekitike had gone home in the second half. The Liverpool boss added that the team would investigate the injury further the next day to determine its severity.
Ekitike has been a key player for Liverpool this season, scoring 19 goals, and his injury is a significant blow to the team. The Reds' Champions League campaign came to an end with a 2-0 defeat to PSG, but Slot took positives from the game, praising his players' hard work and the fans' support.
Despite the loss, Slot remains optimistic about the team's future, saying that they have shown they can compete with top European teams. Liverpool's focus now shifts to ensuring they qualify for next season's Champions League, starting with their upcoming derby match against Everton.
