Gakpo (ankle) remains doubtful for Sunday's match against Manchester City after suffering an injury with the Netherlands, according to manager Andoni Iraola, per Theo Squires of the Liverpool Echo. "I think Cody had to leave the national teams with injuries. Now it's a matter of whether he is going to recover in time to help us in the next game or not. But right now he is injured."
Analysis:Gakpo has not received much of an update since the first week of the international break, when he suffered his injury, as his status is still unclear. Even with the slight chance of the winger appearing, it seems unlikely he would receive much time, being cautious to avoid any further injury. That said, there is also still the chance that the Dutch attacker misses more time than just the City match if he does not play, potentially leaving Liverpool in a tough spot, as Federico Chiesa (back), Alexander Isak (thigh) and Hugo Ekitike (Achilles) are other attackers also dealing with injuries.
