Arne Slot on Ekitikeās injury and Gomez substitution in Champions League exit to PSG
Arne Slot says Hugo Ekitikeās injury looks a āreally badā one after the striker was forced off on a stretcher in the 2-0 defeat to Paris St Germain.
The Liverpool boss says he expects the Frenchman to miss at least the rest of the season but was unsure as of yet how severe it is.
āI think we all saw the video and the clips, that doesnāt look good,ā he said.
ā88 minutes before tonight we could play with Florian (Wirtz), Alex (Isak) and Hugo.
āWe added 27 or 28 to that tonight but Iād be surprised if we can add any more minutes to that this season.
āBut the good thing is Alex is back.
āIt looks really bad but itās difficult for me to say how bad. Tomorrow we will investigate it further, how bad it is for him. Letās see but it doesnāt look good, thatās clear.ā

Joe Gomez was also taken off in the second half of the defeat to PSG having earlier been brought on as a substitute, and Slot clarified that it was because of the defenderās worry of sustaining an injury.
āI wanted to make a different substitution and then he said to me heās not convinced that if he keeps sprinting, he feels something a little bit, and itās better to go off not to take the risk,ā he said.
āThat would have been my fourth substitution so then to keep someone on that might get an injury is never a smart thing.
āI had to change the substitution.ā
Liverpoolās defeat means they have been eliminated from the Champions League by PSG for the second year running, losing 4-0 on aggregate.
