  "textContent": "\n\n\nHugo Ekitike was stretchered off after a concerning injury in Liverpool vs PSG Champions League clash.\n\nThe stoppage came 27 minutes into the fixture when the striker slipped off the ball and signalled to the bench.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nHe was seen clutching his right ankle after slipping while attempting to dart inside off William Pacho.\n\nLiverpool medical staff came onto the pitch, where he was quickly assessed and taken off.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMohamed Salah, who started the fixture on the bench, was brought on to replace the injured forward.\n\nThe Egyptian placed a consoling hand on his head as he passed.\n\nAnfield greeted the legendary forward's warm-up with their customary song in his honour.\n\nThe setback represents another blow for Slot, who has struggled to field his preferred attacking options together this season.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n__The game resumed shortly after the delay.\n\nLiverpool's hopes of a famous European comeback hang in the balance at Anfield, where the Reds face a daunting task, trailing 2-0 on aggregate following their defeat to the defending champions in Paris a week ago.\n\nThe atmosphere inside the ground was electric, with supporters delivering a rousing rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone before kick-off.\n\nDembele came closest to breaking the deadlock as he squandered a golden opportunity to effectively end the contest, blazing a volley over the crossbar from just eight yards out.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe chance came after Kvaratskhelia swept down the left flank and found Joao Neves, who flicked the ball on to the French winger, but his effort sailed harmlessly over.\n\nLiverpool believed he was offside, though replays showed he was marginally onside.\n\nEarlier, goalkeeper Mamardashvili had been forced into vital interventions, racing off his line to deny Zaire-Emery before scrambling back to punch away an attempted chip from Dembele.\n\nThe Spaniard also gathered efforts from Kvaratskhelia, keeping the Reds' slim hopes alive.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nIsak came close to breaking the deadlock when he raced in behind the PSG defence, sliding the ball past Safonov only for a defender to clear off the line.\n\nThe Swedish striker also headed a Szoboszlai corner straight at the goalkeeper earlier in the half.\n\nFlorian Wirtz has been finding pockets of space in midfield, while full-backs Frimpong and Kerkez have been tasked with providing width in the absence of natural wingers.\n\nSalah made an immediate impression upon his introduction, curling a brilliant delivery into the box that Kerkez attempted to convert, only for a combined save from keeper and defender to deny him.\n\nVan Dijk looked certain to tap into an empty net before Marquinhos slid across to clear.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
