Liverpool has confirmed that Hugo Ekitike has suffered a “serious” Achilles injury that will rule him out of the rest of this season and prevent him from playing for France at the World Cup.
The 23-year-old had to be substituted during the first half of the Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield after he slipped under no contact. Scans on the issue have subsequently confirmed a rupture of the Achilles tendon.
Ekitike will therefore be sidelined for the remaining weeks of the club season, though no exact timeline has emerged on when he could return. The Reds will support Ekitike as he recovers, with some reports suggesting he could be out for nine months.
