“Didn’t look good”: Arne Slot fears worst after Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike stretchered off in PSG defeat Liverpool manager Arne Slot has admitted that Hugo Ekitike 's injury doesn't 'look good'. Ekitike was stretchered from the pitch during Liverpool's 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night with what appeared an Achilles issue. The French forward was in visible pain and Liverpool will now assess the extent of the injury.
Ekitike's injury is a big blow for the Reds, with the 23-year-old expected to face a significant spell on the sidelines. The forward is Liverpool's leading scorer this season, with 17 goals in all competitions, and now faces the prospect of missing the Premier League run-in, and potentially the 2026 World Cup with France. Speaking about Ekitike's injury, Slot told Amazon Prime Video that the initial assessment does not look good.
"Not too good. I think we could all see that it didn't look well and didn't look good. Let's wait and see what it will be.
