Very bad news for Hugo Ekitike. Last night, in the 30th minute of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against PSG (0-2), the Liverpool striker was injured during an action and fell to the ground.
"Hugo is very badly injured, it's a very serious injury," coach Arne Slot said at the press conference after the loss and Liverpool's elimination from the Champions League.
"It looks very serious. It looks like it's badly damaged, but it's hard to say how much. We'll see. It doesn't bode well, that's clear," Slot added.
According to information gathered by "RMC Sport", the 23-year-old Frenchman was immediately sent for a first check in the locker room after the match, and the first results hint at very bad news, reports "Gazeta Express".
A more detailed medical examination is expected during the day, but according to French media, it is a rupture of the Achilles tendon, one of the most serious injuries in football.
The former PSG player will not return to the field before the end of the season and is therefore expected to miss the World Cup which takes place in two months.
In fact, the latest news says that he could be absent for up to 9 months.
France's medical and technical staff are in contact with Liverpool to monitor the player's condition and provide the latest updates. /Express newspaper
