Hugo Ekitike has been left out of the Liverpool squad taking on Fulham in the Premier League this afternoon.

Liverpool are looking to get back to winning ways in the league after a disappointing and uninspiring goalless draw at home to Leeds United on New Year’s Day.

Despite that, Arne Slot’s side are now unbeaten in the league in seven matches and now sit fourth in the table, albeit still 15 points behind league leaders Arsenal.

Ahead of kick-off in their clash with Fulham, though, Liverpool were dealt a major blow after Ekitike was ruled out of the matchday squad.

According to Liverpool’s website, the Frenchman ‘misses out due to a minor fitness issue’.
