The trend is confirmed. The day after Hugo Ekitike was stretchered out against PSG (0-2), The Parisian assures that Hugo Ekitike suffers from a ruptured Achilles tendon, which was greatly feared. Consequence: the French international will not participate in the World Cup this summer.
It now remains to be seen whether it is a partial or total rupture, which would imply different but long convalescence periods, whatever the case. According to the daily, Ekitike is not even sure that he will be able to play again before the end of 2026. The player should take exams in the coming hours. RMC, which confirms Ekitike’s withdrawal from the World Cup, indicates that the player had passed a first examination in the locker room, which foreshadowed bad news.
