Hugo Ekitike is reported to have sustained a serious Achilles tendon rupture during Liverpool’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield, an injury that could rule him out for the remainder of the season.
The former PSG forward went down in clear pain in the 26th minute after slipping on the slick surface, with no contact involved. He was forced off early, prompting the introduction of Mohamed Salah.
Reports suggest the injury is indeed an Achilles rupture, which could sideline him for 9–12 months. The setback not only cuts short his campaign but also leaves Liverpool without a key attacking option, adding to Arne Slot’s concerns as the team regroups following their European exit.
