Current Absence
| Reason | Further Detail | Potential Return | Condition | Status | Team |
| Calf/Shin/Heel Injury | Further Detail Apr 14: 'Not too good. I think we could all see that it didn't look well [or] good. Let's wait and see what it will be. In the second half, he went home, so I haven't seen him yet.'
Apr 16: 'Liverpool confirm Hugo Ekitike has sustained a serious Achilles injury. Scans on the issue have subsequently confirmed a rupture of the Achilles tendon. Ekitike will therefore be sidelined for the remaining weeks of the club season and unable to participate at this summer's World Cup with France.'
Apr 17: 'Devastating for him, coming to a new club, having so much impact, playing against your former club in the QF of the Champions League... Yeah, our thoughts are always with him.'
Apr 24: 'The surgery went well, but in such a long rehab process, there are so many steps that need to be made. Experts will tell you this will take multiple months, and then it depends on the steps. We don't know yet, but the first and most important step is that the surgery went well.' | Potential Return 12/10/2026 | Condition Not Available | Status Ruled Out | Team  |
Absence History
| Month | Reason | Duration | Further Detail | Team |
| Mar 26 | Reason Thigh Injury | Duration <2 wks | Further Detail Mar 21: 'Hugo, I think he could play tomorrow if he needed to. It was a dead leg, as you call it here, I think. Unfortunately, it was a collision, and that led to Hugo going out.' | Team |
| Jan 26 | Reason Thigh Injury | Duration <2 wks | Further Detail Jan 04: 'Isak has been out for a few weeks now. That has meant that Hugo had to play more minutes... [and] he [has] picked up a slight hamstring injury because we had to play him more and more and more minutes. Hopefully, back for the Arsenal game, but that's definitely not sure yet.'
Jan 04: 'He felt something during training, so he went for an MRI scan, and we got the result when we were flying. We were hoping it was just a bit of DOMS... and then we could have used him maybe as a sub, but unfortunately, we saw a little bit more, and then you cannot take a risk.'
Jan 07: 'He has not trained with us until now, and let’s see if he can today. I’ve said, I think, two or three days ago when we played Fulham that he is not going to be out for long, but because games come so fast, he is in between, maybe training with the team, or it would take him one or two days extra.'
Jan 11: 'That is not 100 per cent sure, but we will do everything to have him available on Monday.' | Team |
| Nov 25 | Reason Lower Back Injury | Duration <2 wks | Further Detail Nov 26: 'Especially at the start of the second half, I constantly felt, 'What's wrong with Hugo?' It felt as if he couldn't move as he did [in] the first half. So, that's why our press was, I think, also a little bit off... And he just told me that in the first five to 10 minutes of the first half, he already felt his back too much. That's also why he had to go out.'
Nov 27: 'They don't expect that it has to be a big issue, but the games come fast, so let's see for the weekend. But it shouldn't have to be a big issue.' | Team |
| Sep 25 | Reason Thigh Injury | Duration <2 wks | Further Detail Sept 30: 'He felt something when he had to reach for the ball. After the game, the difficult thing [is] when players feel like it is not too bad, but when you just walk around, it is something different than when you make a sprint or have to shoot on target. He said he couldn't continue, so we had to take him off. Let's see how he is for the weekend.'
Oct 03: 'Hugo is going to train again today, let's see where he is. The same can be said for Frederico (Chiesa).' | Team |
| Sep 25 | Reason Suspended | Duration <2 wks | Further Detail Sept 23: 'I haven’t played at this level, but I did score a few goals, and if I would have scored a goal like this, I would have turned around and walked up to Federico Chiesa and said, 'This goal is all about you, this is not about me.' So, yeah, needless, not smart. You call it stupid. I call it stupid.' | Team |
