Liverpool and France forward Hugo Ekitike reportedly sidelined for World Cup due to injury
Topics:
The 23 year old forward gestured towards his Achilles tendon while medical personnel provided treatment, prior to being transported off the pitch on a stretcher at Anfield. This incident occurred during Liverpool's 2 0 defeat in the second leg of their quarter final tie, which saw them bow out of the tournament on a 4 0 aggregate scoreline.
The French Football Federation (FFF) could not be contacted for an immediate response.
Since his transfer to Liverpool from Frankfurt for 69 million pounds back in July, Ekitike has notched up 17 goals across various competitions this term, including a brace for France from the beginning of the season.
