Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike has suffered a suspected Achilles injury and there are fears he could be out for at least six months.
Sky Sports News understands the player is set for scans to determine the full extent of the injury, which is not yet known.
The worst-case scenario is an absence as long as nine months - but it will take more analysis to determine a timeline for his recovery.
Ekitike came off with a serious leg problem after 31 minutes of the 2-0 loss at Anfield - which confirmed a 4-0 aggregate quarter-final defeat to the reigning European champions.
Ekitike picked up the injury just as Alexander Isak returned from his serious leg injury, with the British record transfer making his first start since fracturing his ankle in December.
Liverpool did not comment when contacted by Sky Sports News.

He’s a slim boy it’s bound to happen sooner or later when taking so much contact… he needs to beef up a lil his lower frame because if this is happening now what about later on

The truth of the matter is that Liverpool manager don't know how to Sign good players, managers like Mourinho signed players that's physically fit and mentally ready. not this type linky striker with a small head.
