Cody Gakpo Sent Back to Liverpool After Suffering Ankle Injury on Netherlands Duty

Cody Gakpo has withdrawn from the Netherlands squad after sustaining an ankle injury while on international duty.

The Liverpool forward will now return to Merseyside, where he is expected to undergo further assessment by the club’s medical staff at the AXA Training Centre.

The injury comes during the international break, with Gakpo joining a growing list of players forced to leave their national teams early because of fitness concerns.

Liverpool will now assess the extent of the problem and determine how long Gakpo could be unavailable. Further updates are expected once the club’s medical team has completed its evaluation.

Gakpo has become an important attacking option for Liverpool, making the severity and potential recovery timeline of the ankle injury a key concern for the club.
