What happened. Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola has confirmed that Hugo Ekitike remains some time away from a return after suffering an Achilles injury in April. The French striker's absence has limited Iraola's ability to fully deploy his frontline.

• Ekitike has been unavailable since picking up the Achilles problem in April.
• Iraola has now given a timeframe for the striker's comeback.
• Liverpool face Fulham at Anfield on Saturday.

Liverpool's attacking options stay stretched while Ekitike works back to fitness, with the Fulham clash next up.
