Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed concern over Hugo Ekitike's injury, describing it as 'really bad' after the player was stretchered off during the Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. Ekitike suffered a lower leg injury and was replaced by Mohamed Salah, with Slot suggesting the injury was 'not good' and that the player may have suffered an Achilles injury.
The French international has scored 19 goals this season and was likely to feature for his country at the World Cup if fit. Despite the injury, Slot took positives from the game, praising his team's performance and the support of the fans. Liverpool's attention now turns to ensuring they qualify for next season's Champions League, starting with Sunday's derby against Everton.
