Cody Gakpo’s absence poses challenge for Liverpool in europa league and premier league fixtures
Cody Gakpo, Liverpool’s star striker, is expected to miss the club’s upcoming matches, imposing a setback to the team’s offensive group. Gakpo was injured during the Reds’ most recent match against Tottenham Hotspur and had to leave the field in a brace. The injury occurred just moments before he scored the equalizer in the first half, showing his resilience on the field.
Gakpo will miss Liverpool’s next two matches, according to the results of a thorough scan. This includes an important Europa League Group E match at Anfield against Royal Union Saint-Gilloise and a challenging Premier League match against Brighton on Sunday. The absence of the £37 million transfer from PSV Eindhoven is a huge blow for Jurgen Klopp’s team, who are hoping to maintain their momentum and earn vital wins in both domestic and European competitions.
Additionally, Cody Gakpo’s injury is projected to keep him from playing for the Dutch national team. Netherlands is gearing up for European Championship 2024 qualifiers against France and Greece, and Gakpo’s absence will be noticed as they look to secure their place in the competition.
Apart from Cody Gakpo, Liverpool will be without Diogo Jota for the upcoming match against Brighton owing to a red card incurred against Tottenham. While dealing with these challenges, the club remains confident about a likely appeal for Curtis Jones’ red card, hoping for a favorable decision from the FA. Despite these losses, Liverpool remains determined to put on a solid performance in their next match and continue their attempt for victory on multiple fronts.
