23-year-old Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike ruptured his right Achilles tendon in Tuesday’s 2-0 loss to PSG, ending his 2025-26 season and France’s 2026 World Cup hopes after 17 goals in 45 games.
The football Club confirmed its team player injury on X showing support for its striker: Liverpool FC can confirm Hugo Ekitike has sustained a serious Achilles injury.
“We are all with you, Hugo ❤️”
With PSG showing support to the injured footballer “Paris Saint-Germain extends its best wishes for a speedy recovery to Hugo Ekitike.”
Recovery will take 8-9 months, with France coach Didier Deschamps calling it a huge blow but expressing faith in Ekitike’s return.
