Continues rehab in Chicago
Ekitike traveled with Liverpool's squad to their preseason training base in Chicago as he continues rehabilitating his Achilles injury, the club announced.
Analysis: Ekitike's debut campaign was cut short in April when he suffered the injury during a Champions League quarterfinal loss to PSG, having produced 11 goals and four assists in 28 Premier League appearances before the setback. The injury also forced him to miss the 2026 World Cup, and his inclusion on the trip points to continued monitoring of his recovery under the club's medical staff. Part of the 2026-27 campaign is still expected to be affected by the layoff. Ekitike is expected to keep working through his rehabilitation program while accompanying the squad through the preseason tour.
Continues Achilles rehab
Ekitike (Achilles) returned to the AXA Training Centre this week for an assessment of his recovery from his Achilles injury, the club posted.
Analysis: Ekitike suffered the injury during Liverpool's Champions League quarterfinal defeat to PSG in April, ending his debut campaign early after a productive first season that included 11 goals and four assists in 28 Premier League appearances. The injury forced him to miss the 2026 World Cup, and this checkpoint nearly three months on marks continued monitoring of his rehabilitation rather than a return to training. He is expected to miss part of the 2026-27 campaign as a result of the injury. Ekitike is expected to continue his recovery process as Liverpool provide further updates on his progress.
