Wonderkid forward is coming to Liverpool after Hugo Ekitike injury If you thought this season could not get any worse, well it did. Hugo Ekitike suffered a terrible achilles rupture against Paris Saint Germain on Tuesday night. The injury will rule Ekitike out not just for this season and the World Cup but also for most of next season.
The expected prognosis at the moment is that he will be out of action for nine months. That's an awfully long time and it's devastating for both Ekitike and Liverpool. Out of all the new signings, it was the Frenchman who has settled in the easiest and the fastest.
He's amassed 23 goal contributions in his debut campaign, which is a more than respectable output considering the season Liverpool have had. In many ways, he has become the new face of the Reds and one of the club's new fan favourites. But now Liverpool are going to have to find a way to cope without him.
Ekitike won't be able to help out Arne Slot's side for the considerable future. Until then someone else will have to step-up. But who?
