Overview
- Arne Slot confirmed Hugo Ekitike missed the trip to Fulham with a slight hamstring injury and said overuse contributed to the problem.
- The manager said Ekitike was pushed into extra minutes following Isak’s absence and added he hopes, but is not certain, the forward can return for Arsenal.
- Ekitike has 11 goals in his debut season and had started six straight matches in all competitions before the injury.
- The French forward told the club’s website his priority is helping Liverpool win rather than personal goal or assist tallies.
- Florian Wirtz, who scored his first Liverpool goal last month, continues to adjust as Jeremie Frimpong says he ignores the £116m fee and handles pressure well.
