🚨 First details emerge on Hugo Ekitiké (Canal+) | OneFootball

The pain is immense.

It was the terrible image of the evening: Hugo Ekitiké had to leave the Anfield pitch in tears on a stretcher after suffering an Achilles tendon injury.

A few minutes after the end of the match against PSG (0-2), Hervé Mathoux gave an update on the France striker on Canal+.

According to Hugo Ekitiké’s family, it is possible that his Achilles tendon is not completely ruptured, but his season would be over no matter what. An announcement that therefore seems to rule out his participation in the World Cup.

It is a terrible blow for the France striker, who was set to take part in the World Cup and very possibly as a starter.

Moreover, a long recovery now awaits the former PSG player. For example, NBA stars like Damian Lillard and Tyrese Haliburton missed an entire season after rupturing their Achilles tendons last year. However, Jayson Tatum, the Boston Celtics star, returned to the court ten months after the same injury.
