Ekitike rehabbing Achilles in U.S. during World Cup

Hugo Ekitike is recovering in the United States from a ruptured Achilles, working with a personal physio as he steps up his rehabilitation (1). The Liverpool forward has not featured since sustaining the injury, and the club has not set a public timeline for his return. Ekitike's presence stateside places one of the Premier League's brightest young attackers on American soil during the World Cup, even if he remains far from match fitness.
