Hugo Ekitike looks set to face a spell on the sidelines after sustaining a serious injury in Liverpool's Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

Liverpool lost 2-0 at Anfield on Tuesday, capping off a 4-0 aggregate defeat to the European champions, with Ousmane Dembele scoring twice in the second half.

While PSG can now look forward to a mouthwatering semi-final against either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, Liverpool's last chance of silverware this season is now gone.

To compound the Reds' misery, leading scorer Ekitike had to be taken off on a stretcher midway through the first half.

"Not too good. We could all see it didn't look good. Let's wait and see what it will be. In the second half he went home and I haven't seen him yet," Slot told Amazon Prime. 

"As it seems to be, losing a player is something we have had many times this season but it is especially hard for him because you never want to be injured, especially at this time of the season."

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate added: "I think it is bad. I don't know, I have heard many things, I have no word to talk about that because with the World Cup coming it is very, very hard for him and I send him my prayers."

The Reds had 21 shots, though only hit the target with five of them, creating chances worth 1.94 expected goals, but they were undone by two moments of quality from Dembele. Of Liverpool's attempts, 17 came after half-time.

Their tally of attempts is the most Liverpool have had in a Champions League game without scoring since their 1-0 loss to Madrid in the 2021-22 final.

Slot's team thought they had won a penalty when Alexis Mac Allister went down under pressure from Willian Pacho, but the referee overturned his decision after a VAR check.

"Last season we had a penalty like that," lamented a frustrated Konate. 

"For me it was a clear penalty and was just behind the referee but he did not blow the whistle and we have to deal with that. If we got the penalty and score it would be completely different."

Konate feels the defeat is reflective of what has been an underwhelming campaign for Liverpool, who sit fifth in the Premier League.

"We created many chances and I think on the pitch we were the better team," he said.

"It was a little bit unfair it was like season, we had many chances but could not score and they had one or two chances and score.

"Many things happened and we don't have to forget that. The game meant a lot. To have a performance like that, we have to build from that and realise how good we can be.

"It is a minimum standard for Liverpool to play [in the] Champions League. We have six games left and we have to give all in those six games."
