Injury Woes Continue

French forward Ekitike is expected to be sidelined for at least nine months after rupturing his Achilles tendon. A long road to recovery lies in front of the talented 23-year-old - who registered 17 goals across his debut campaign on Merseyside.

  • Ekitike to miss at least nine months
  • Isak has played just 20 appearances with only three goals
  • Robert Lewandowski is a free agent from Barcelona
