Arne Slot Offers Hugo Ekitike Injury Update for Liverpool's Trip to Arsenal

On Sunday, Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool forward, missed the 20-man Fulham squad due to a minor hamstring issue; Cody Gakpo replaced him in attack.
Having started six fixtures in 26 days, Arne Slot said Ekitike's hamstring resulted after he was required to play more minutes because Alexander Isak was sidelined.
Form-Wise, Ekitike's goal return and home involvements include five in his last five starts and four goal involvements in seven home games.
The absence left Liverpool FC without a recognised striker for the Fulham match, and Arne Slot said he is unsure if Hugo Ekitike will be fit for Thursday.
Liverpool's place — fourth and unbeaten in seven — frames the cautious approach to Ekitike's recovery, with Slot saying the decision considered upcoming fixtures and hopes to have him back soon.
