Hugo Ekitike will miss the rest of Liverpool’s season with an Achilles injury. His national team head coach Didier Deschamps has now confirmed that the 23-year-old is already ruled out for the Reds’ campaign and the upcoming World Cup.

He said: “The severity of his injury will unfortunately prevent him from finishing the season with Liverpool and participating in the World Cup. This injury is a huge blow for him, of course, but also for the France team.

Hugo will regain his top form, I’m convinced of it. “We know he’ll be fully behind the France team, and we’re all thinking of him very strongly.”
