Liverpool are dealt a huge blow ahead of Fulham clash with key player RULED OUT with a hamstring injury - as Arne Slot reveals when star could return

Liverpool's line-up for Sunday's Premier League trip to Fulham was without one key player due to injury.

The Reds travelled down to Craven Cottage looking to record their fourth win in five top-flight matches.

However, there was notable absentee from their squad - with the player in question having suffered a hamstring injury.

The player? Hugo Ekitike.

Speaking about his absence, Liverpool manager Arne Slot said in his pre-match interview with Sky Sports: '[Alexander] Isak has been out for a few weeks now and that's meant Ekitike had to play more minutes than the previous part of the season.
