The sorrow 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, Hervé Mathoux gave an update on the France forward 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 regardless. An announcement that therefore seems to include his participation in the World Cup.
This is a terrible blow for the France striker, who was set to take part in the World Cup, very possibly as a starter.
In addition, 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. However, Jayson Tatum, the Boston Celtics star, returned to the court ten months after suffering the same injury.
