Ekitike to miss rest of season and World Cup after rupturing Achilles

Liverpool have confirmed that striker Hugo Ekitike has sustained a "serious" Achilles injury and will miss the rest of the season and the World Cup with France.

The forward had to be substituted during the first half of Tuesday's Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield after a slip on the turf and scans on the injury have confirmed a rupture of the Achilles tendon.
