Liverpool is facing a serious crisis following their exit from the Champions League. The team's primary forward, Hugo Ekitike, has been sidelined after sustaining a severe injury during a match against PSG. Goal.com reports on the matter.
It has been revealed that the 23-year-old French footballer will be unable to take the field until 2027 due to a ruptured Achilles tendon.
Ekitike had been the team's top scorer this season, netting 17 goals across all competitions. His absence has become a major problem for the side managed by Arne Slot.
Club management and fans are now turning all their attention to high-profile signings Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz.
Liverpool has won only 10 of its last 27 matches. The team, which secured the championship last season, is currently struggling to compete for fifth place in the league standings.
The situation has been further exacerbated by a decline in Mohamed Salah's productivity and the fading form of leaders like Alexis Mac Allister.
Isak and Wirtz have yet to fully prove themselves due to injuries and the adaptation process. These stars are now required to justify the significant transfer fees spent on them and save the club's project from total collapse.
Otherwise, the future of the team remains in question.
