Hugo Ekitiké - hamstring

Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitiké (23) was forced to leave the pitch during the second half of the Reds’ 1-0 defeat to Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday night. The Frenchman appeared to pick up an injury that required immediate substitution.

🎙️|Arne Slot: "He felt something when he had to reach for the ball,” added Slot. "I think we all know which one it was when we were trying to force something.

"I think at that moment in time, on the other side there was someone on the floor as well, so the referee blew his whistle and I wasn't even thinking we had an injury, but Hugo felt something.

"After the game, that's always the difficult thing with these moments when players feel like it is not too bad, but when you just walk around it is something different than when you make a sprint or have to shoot on target.

"He said he couldn't continue so we had to take him off. Let's see how he is for the weekend." (Source: Livepool)

The forward is confident he only had cramp in his hamstring rather than anything more serious (James Pearce, The Athletic).
