Injury Sidelines Liverpool’s Hugo For FIFA World Cup And Remainder Of Season
FIFA World Cup: English football club Liverpool have been dealt a major blow as their premier striker Hugo Ekitike has been ruled out of the rest of the season due to an Achilles injury.
Hugo's injury has caused a big damage to France's football team, as the striker was expected to play a big role for his national side in the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026, but he is sidelined for a minimum of six months and will miss the multi-national tournament.
The French forward had to be taken off on a stretcher after showing clear signs of discomfort in the first half of Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final against PSG at Anfield. Ekitike seemed to slip while sprinting after a loose ball, with no contact involved, prompting immediate medical attention and his substitution.
