Hugo Ekitiké - hamstring
Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitiké (23) has been ruled out of Sunday’s clash against Fulham due to a minor hamstring issue picked up through an increased workload. The club described the problem as a slight fitness concern rather than a serious injury, and the decision to rest him has been taken as a precaution. While Ekitike will miss this weekend’s fixture, there is optimism he could return soon, potentially in time for Thursday’s match against Arsenal, although his availability for that game is not yet guaranteed.
