Liverpool's French striker Hugo Ekitike will miss the remainder of the season and the upcoming World Cup due to a ruptured Achilles tendon. The 23-year-old forward sustained the injury during the first half of Liverpool's Champions League quarter-final match against Paris Saint Germain at Anfield.
Scans have confirmed the severity of the injury, which occurred after Ekitike slipped on the pitch. He has been a key player for Liverpool this season, scoring 17 goals across all competitions, including 11 in the Premier League.
