Cody Gakpo picks up injury from nasty tackle during Serbia vs Netherlands

Netherlands forward Cody Gakpo sustained an apparent ankle injury during a Nations League match against Serbia on Sunday, September 27, 2026. Gakpo was hurt in the first half following a sliding tackle from Serbian midfielder Sasa Lukic. After limping for several minutes, the forward was unable to continue and had to be substituted.

The full severity of Gakpo's injury remains unknown as he awaits further assessment. The setback adds to recent international break concerns for Liverpool, coming alongside a thigh issue suffered by forward Alexander Isak that is expected to sideline him from upcoming matches.
