Didier Deschamps announces the terrible news: Hugo Ekitike will miss the World …

“Hugo seriously injured himself on Tuesday evening against PSG. The seriousness of his injury unfortunately will prevent him from finishing the season with Liverpool and participating in the World Cup.

Hugo is one of the dozen young players who made their debuts with the national team in recent months. He had perfectly integrated into the group, whether on the pitch or off it. This injury is an immense hard blow for him, obviously, but also for the French team.

His disappointment is immense. Hugo will find his best level again, I’m convinced of it. But I want to personally show him all my support, as well as that of the staff. We know he’ll be fully behind the French team, and we’re all thinking of him very much.” ❌
