Paris Saint-Germain striker Hugo Ekitike has suffered a significant knee injury, casting doubt on his availability for the remainder of the season. The injury occurred during a recent Ligue 1 match against Stade Rennais on April 12, 2026.
Initial medical assessments indicate damage to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee. The club confirmed the diagnosis in an official statement, noting Ekitike will undergo further evaluation to determine the full extent and required treatment.
Such injuries typically require a lengthy rehabilitation period, often spanning six to nine months or more. This development is a major setback for the 24-year-old forward and for PSG's attacking options as they approach the final stages of the domestic and European campaigns.
Ekitike, who joined PSG from Stade de Reims, has been a key contributor this season. His absence will force manager Luis Enrique to adjust his tactical plans during a crucial period for the club.
