Liverpool's Grand Plan in Tatters After Hugo Ekitike Injury

Champions League Elimination Adds to Anfield Woes

Liverpool's grand plan is in tatters after Hugo Ekitike injury. Arne Slot declared that the "future was bright" for Liverpool after Tuesday's Champions League elimination but there was no lifting the doom and gloom around Anfield.

Ekitike Injury a Major Blow

The hosts hadn't just lost yet another game to Paris Saint-Germain - they'd also lost **Hugo Ekitike** to injury. Indeed, what little hope Liverpool had of overturning a **2-0** first-leg deficit effectively ended the moment their only fit and in-form forward hit the deck with nobody near him.

• Liverpool lost to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
• The first-leg deficit was **2-0**.
• **Hugo Ekitike** was injured during the game.

Pressure Not Enough Without Ekitike

There was only half an hour gone, and the hosts actually managed to put some serious pressure on **PSG** for a good 20 minutes after the interval, but without their top scorer on the pitch, they never actually looked like putting the ball in the back of the net.
