Hugo Ekitike - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Involved in two goals in return Ekitike (hamstring) scored one goal and assisted once in 35 minutes as a substitute in Monday's FA Cup win over Barnsley.

Impact Ekitike regained fitness following a two-game absence and took advantage of the cup match to produce a couple of goal contributions during the final minutes. He'll be back in contention and likely to lead the front line for a side that is now without Alexander Isak (ankle). Having scored six goals and two assists over his last seven games across all competitions, Ekitike could be reliable for offensive output going forward.

Impact Ekitike is working to be available for the club's opening FA Cup match, with the forward now a late call to face Barnsley. It will likely come down to a fitness test ahead of the match, although they won't risk him, as they are facing a team they should easily dispatch. Even if he is only available from the bench, it will secure his fitness for the Jan. 17 match against Burnley when they return to league play.

Liverpool player ratings vs Arsenal: Reds made to rue Hugo Ekitike's absence in much improved display to earn goalless draw

Ruled out vs. Arsenal Ekitike (hamstring) is out for Thursday's match against Arsenal, freelance soccer reporter Chris Royce reports.

Impact Ekitike had yet to resume training as of Wednesday, so it's not surprising to see him out for this match. This is a huge blow for a Liverpool side that's also missing Mohamed Salah (AFCON) and Alexander Isak (ankle), so Cody Gakpo might end up playing as a striker against the Gunners.

Impact Ekitike hasn't yet resumed team training following his hamstring issue that made him miss the last game against Fulham. The Frenchman will hope to resume training on Wednesday but remains a doubt to face the Gunners on Thursday, as he could also be given one or two extra days of rest. If he were to miss a second game in a row, Cody Gakpo would be expected to replace him as the striker.

Impact Ekitike travelled with the team to face Fulham on Sunday but ultimately missed the clash due to a slight hamstring injury. The striker has been playing more than expected due to injuries in the frontline and was set to rotate because of delayed onset muscle soreness, according to coach Arne Slot. That said, the issue appears to be minor, as the club hopes to have him fit for Thursday's clash against Arsenal. If he were to miss additional time, Cody Gakpo would likely start as the striker again for the Reds.

Out due to minor issues Ekitike is out for Sunday's match against Fulham due to minor fitness issues, according to his club.

Impact Ekitike is missing out Sunday and leaving the club without their lead forward this season. The good news is that this is only a minor fitness injury and he is likely to have a quick turnaround, probably missing out as caution with a busy schedule ahead. He hopes to make Thursday's match against Arsenal, with Florian Wirtz taking his spot against Fulham.

'He will score many more goals!' - Arne Slot praises Florian Wirtz as midfielder finally breaks scoring duck in Liverpool victory over Wolves

Assists Wirtz for his first goal Ekitike assisted once to go with four shots (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Wolverhampton.

Impact Ekitike reached 10 goal involvements by providing his second assist of the season. In his last four Premier League games, he has scored five goals and provided an assist in this game. He took four shots but was unable to put any on target. This is the first time in the last five games that he hasn't put a shot on target. This is the sixth time in all competitions this season that the forward has taken at least four shots, and the second time he hasn't put any on target.

Scores in win Ekitike scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Ekitike rose highest and scored a towering header during Saturday's win, his goal proving crucial as Tottenham scored late. Ekitike has been one of the lone bright spots for a struggling Liverpool side and continues to thrive as a finisher. He hasn't been as active as a creator as many expected, but as long as he continues to finish efficiently he will retain a big role, especially after Alexander Isak suffered a suspected broken leg.
