Liverpool<\/a> have had some wretched luck with injuries this season and it only went from bad to worse during their clash with PSG on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Alexander Isak has missed a colossal portion of the season through injury and made a return to the starting lineup on Tuesday but as soon as they got the Swede back, they suffered another disastrous turn of luck.<\/p>\n

With the score 0-0 in the opening half of the match, Hugo Ekitike<\/a> has to be stretchered from the pitch with a nasty looking blow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n What happened to Hugo Ekitike vs PSG<\/strong>
\n <\/h2>\n

This match represented the first time all of Liverpool\u2019s summer signings, Ekitike, Isak, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong had all started the same game.<\/p>\n

Sadly for Arne Slot, it did not last long. The ball was played towards the striker inside the PSG half but he went down awkwardly without any contact and didn\u2019t not get up.<\/p>\n

The Liverpool medical team rushed onto the pitch to aid the big-money forward but further assistance was required when he was stretchers off the pitch.<\/p>\n

Ekitike was substituted immediately with Mo Salah – who strangely didn\u2019t start the game – coming on in his place.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n How long could Ekitike miss? <\/strong>
\n <\/h2>\n

Official confirmation of Ekitike\u2019s injury is yet to be revealed but an initial prediction and prognosis has been delivered.<\/p>\n

Taking to social media, Doctor Rajpal Brar, who is an avid follower of football, shared that it could well be a really bad one for the Liverpool striker.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, Ekitike’s injury looks like the prototypical achilles rupture push off mechanism,\u201d he began.<\/p>\n

Dr Brar then revealed how long the France international could be out for: \u201cLooking at 7-9 month return to sport for elite footballers, longer return to pre-injury levels.\u201d<\/p>\n

That would be a brutal sequence of events for the forward if that prognosis was true. <\/p>\n

Not only would Ekitike not play again this season but he will also miss this summer\u2019s World Cup. The only good news in all of this for Liverpool is that Isak at least back himself.<\/p>\n

Liverpool have their sights set on replacing Mohamed Salah in the summer transfer market. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
