Slot fears Ekitike injury is 'really bad'

Hugo Ekitike, in his first season with Liverpool after signing from Eintracht Frankfurt, sustained the injury off the ball during the quarter-final second leg. The Reds lost the match 2-0, resulting in a 4-0 aggregate defeat. Ekitike's club and international teammate Ibrahima Konate also commented on the severity, noting the injury would be "very hard" for Ekitike, especially with the upcoming World Cup in North America. Slot lamented that his three major summer signings, including Ekitike, have rarely been able to play together this season.
