The verdict is becoming clearer for Hugo Ekitike. Forced off with an injury against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, the Liverpool FC striker is indeed suffering from damage to his Achilles tendon, now officially confirmed.
A serious injury that had been feared… and is now confirmed. The footage alarmed everyone. Injured without contact during the second leg of the quarter-final at Anfield, the French forward has sustained a lesion to the calcaneal tendon—the medical term for the Achilles tendon—according to Canal+.
Major setback for Liverpool’s attacking plans

This injury comes at the worst possible time for Liverpool FC, already weakened in attack. The club had only just welcomed back Alexander Isak after four months out due to a fracture.
The potential loss of Ekitike seriously complicates the Reds’ plans for the remainder of the season, while concerns are also growing about the player’s short-term future. An Achilles tendon injury can lead to a lengthy absence and may even jeopardize upcoming international competitions. A World Cup appearance with France already seems unlikely, with a final verdict pending further tests—but the outlook remains clearly pessimistic.
