Hugo Ekitike Ruptures Achilles in PSG Clash, Set to Miss 2026 World Cup

Posted : 15 April 2026

Liverpool forward Hugo Ekitike has suffered a serious Achilles injury during his side’s UEFA Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, with reports confirming he will miss the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

The 23-year-old French striker went down in visible pain during the second leg at Anfield, pointing to his Achilles tendon before being stretchered off the pitch. The incident occurred in a difficult night for Liverpool, who were beaten 2-0 on the night and eliminated 4-0 on aggregate from the competition.

Medical reports from French media outlets indicate that Ekitike has sustained a ruptured Achilles, a severe injury that typically requires a lengthy recovery period. As a result, he is expected to be unavailable for international duty this summer, dealing a major blow to France’s World Cup plans.

Ekitike has been one of Liverpool’s standout attacking performers this season following his summer move from Eintracht Frankfurt in a deal worth around £69 million. He has scored 17 goals across all competitions, quickly establishing himself as a key figure in the squad.

The French Football Federation has not yet issued an official statement regarding his injury, but the timing leaves little hope for recovery before the tournament, which will be hosted across the United States, Mexico, and Canada from June 11 to July 19.

His absence represents a significant setback for both club and country, as Liverpool lose a key attacking option and France are forced to rethink their forward line ahead of one of football’s biggest competitions.
