Liverpool Star Suffers Ruptured Achilles Tendon
Liverpool have been rocked by the news that Hugo Ekitike is set to spend nine months on the sidelines after reportedly sustaining a ruptured Achilles tendon.
Injury Blow Ruled Ekitike Out of World Cup and Next Season
The France international was stretchered off during the Reds' Champions League quarter-final second leg defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, ending his season and ruling him out of this summer's World Cup. Liverpool's worst fears regarding Ekitike have been confirmed by L'Equipe, who say that the 23-year-old has ruptured his right Achilles tendon.
- Ekitike will miss 9 months of action
- The injury occurred during the Champions League loss to PSG
- Ekitike will miss the World Cup and a significant chunk of the next campaign
The Frenchman collapsed in agony during the first half of the 2-0 defeat to PSG, forcing an early introduction for Mohamed Salah as the Reds exited the Champions League 4-0 on aggregate.
Significant Blow for Liverpool
This devastating blow means the £69 million summer signing will not only miss the World Cup with France but also a significant chunk of the next campaign.
