Liverpool forward Hugo Ekitike suffered a worrying injury during their UEFA Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, raising concerns ahead of the upcoming World Cup.
The incident occurred in the first half at Anfield, with Ekitike going down in visible pain before pointing to his Achilles tendon as medical staff rushed onto the pitch. The French striker was eventually carried off on a stretcher, clearly emotional as he left the field.
The injury could be a major blow not only for Liverpool but also for the French national team, with Ekitike expected to be part of their squad for the upcoming World Cup. His condition is yet to be fully assessed, but early signs suggest it could be serious.
Ekitike has been in strong form this season, scoring 17 goals in all competitions since joining Liverpool from Eintracht Frankfurt. His potential absence would be a significant setback as Liverpool continue their push in both domestic and European competitions.
