Hugo Ekitike - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Takes larger role with France Ekitike (thigh) has fully recovered from the thigh knock he picked up against Brighton before the break, starting and scoring in France's 2-1 win over Brazil before coming off the...

Impact Ekitike looked like a real concern heading into the break after the thigh issue, but the 23-year-old answered every question in emphatic fashion on the international stage. Operating from the left flank, he looked right at home alongside Kylian Mbappe and is now firmly in the conversation as a potential World Cup starter for Les Bleus. Back at Liverpool, expect him to return fully fit and with serious momentum heading into the final stretch of the season. The forward has scored 15 goals and delivered six assists in 40 appearances across all competitions this season for the Reds.

Joins France for duty Ekitike (thigh) was spotted arriving at Clairefontaine for international duty with France, according to L'Equipe.

Impact Ekitike took a thigh knock in a challenge with James Milner during Saturday's loss to Brighton, but the striker appears to have come through it well after being seen arriving at Clairefontaine for France duty. He will likely be checked out by France's medical staff to make sure the thigh is fully fine, and the forward will be hoping that is the case since this break gives him a legit shot to showcase his upside. With the World Cup getting closer, Ekitike has a real opportunity to make his case for a starting role with France.

Forced off injured Ekitike (undisclosed) was forced off early during Saturday's clash against Brighton due to an injury, the club posted.

Impact Ekitike took a bad challenge from James Milner early in Saturday's clash against the Seagulls and had to come off in the eighth minute after trying twice to stay in the game. The Frenchman will be evaluated over the coming days to determine the extent of the issue, but he is likely to miss international duty with France to give himself time to recover. Until he gets back up to full speed, Cody Gakpo is expected to step into a bigger role for the Reds.

Three shots in win Ekitike generated three shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Ekitike took three shots during Sunday's win, but failed to really test the goalkeeper much throughout the match.
