This was announced by his club on Thursday. Ekitiké was injured in the Champions League quarter-final second leg against his former club Paris Saint-Germain.
Liverpool did not give any details about the exact length of his absence. However, it is clear that Ekitiké will miss this summer's finals in the USA, Canada and Mexico. It would have been his first major tournament with the national team.
