Hugo Ekitike is expected to be sidelined for at least nine months with a serious Achilles tendon injury suffered in Liverpool’s Champions League exit against Paris Saint-Germain.
Liverpool’s last hope of silverware this season ended on Tuesday night after defeat to the French champions at Anfield who sealed a 4-0 aggregate victory to progress to the semi-finals of the competition.
Eiktike fell to the ground unchallenged after 34 minutes, clutching the back of his ankle in visible pain.
Despite two attempts, the striker was unable to get back to his feet and received treatment from Liverpool’s medical staff before he was carried off the pitch in tears.
Arne Slot provided a grim update after the match, admitting the injury was ‘not good’ with Ibrahima Konare also fearing the worst for his teammate.
Liverpool are still to officially confirm the extent of the injury but L’Equipe report the former Eintracht Frankfurt star has ruptured his Achilles tendon which will sideline him for approximately nine months.
