‘Slight hamstring injury’: Arne Slot hopes to have Hugo Ekitike back for Arsenal game

Arne Slot has confirmed that Hugo Ekitike is missing the Fulham game due to a minor injury.
However, he has also expressed hope that the Frenchman will be fit to play on Thursday when Liverpool visit Arsenal.

“Hugo picked up a slight hamstring injury because we had to play him more and more minutes. Hopefully, he will be back for the Arsenal game,” the Reds’ head coach said.

In Ekitike’s absence, Cody Gakpo was reinstated into the lineup, although it remains to be seen which one of him and Florian Wirtz will play down the middle today.
