Cody Gakpo limped off during the Netherlands’ Nations League match against Serbia on Sunday evening after a nasty tackle from midfielder Saša Lukić, compounding Liverpool’s injury woes during the international break.
The forward appeared to catch his ankle in a sliding challenge early in the first half and was unable to continue. The exact severity remains unclear, though Graham Potter suggested after the match that initial assessments can be misleading and further checks are required.
Gakpo’s absence would be a significant blow ahead of the Manchester City clash at Anfield in a fortnight, particularly as Alexander Isak is also dealing with a thigh concern and Hugo Ekitike remains sidelined. Andoni Iraola will be hoping for positive news on both forwards when the international break concludes.
