Cody Gakpo’s knock during Saturday night’s 2-1 Premier League loss to Tottenham Hotspur has given Liverpool a significant injury worry.Prior to scoring the equalizer for the Reds at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the 24-year-old was hurt in a challenge by Destiny Udogie. Gakpo required medical attention from the club’s medical staff shortly after scoring, but he was able to finish the first half.
At halftime, the Dutchman was taken off and replaced by Diogo Jota, who had received a red card for two bookings. Jurgen Klopp said he was waiting to learn the full extent of the injury but that it may be “really bad” in his post-game press conferenceGakpo’s injury occurs as Jota prepares to serve a one-match suspension and Jones, who was dismissed from Liverpool on Saturday, will miss Liverpool’s upcoming Premier League matches against Brighton, Everton, and Nottingham Forest.
Darwin Nunez informed Jurgen prior to the game that he had an injury, which prevented him from playing. The team is hoping the 24-year-old will be available for selection in the forthcoming matches against Union Saint-Gilloise in the UEFA Europa League and Brighton the following Sunday in the league. Gakpo is now set to receive treatment with Thiago Alcantara, Stefan Bajcetic, and academy alumnus Conor Bradley. In eight appearances for the Merseysiders this season, the Dutch forward has three goals to his credit.
