Hugo Ekitike Joins France Camp After Dead-Leg Scare in Liverpool Defeat

Arne Slot described the knock as a minor dead leg, easing fears over Liverpool's limited striker options.

Overview

  • The 23-year-old was substituted after a collision with James Milner in Saturday's 2-1 loss at Brighton.
  • Slot said it was a dead leg and added, "Hugo could play tomorrow if he had to."
  • Ekitike was pictured arriving at Clairefontaine on Monday as France prepare to face Brazil on March 26 and Colombia on March 29 in the United States.
  • Liverpool's leading scorer this season has 17 goals and six assists in all competitions, including 11 in his first Premier League campaign.
  • With Alexander Isak still sidelined since his December leg break, Liverpool will monitor Ekitike's involvement during the international window.
