Liverpool handed another injury blow as Cody Gakpo forced off during Nations League clash

Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo was forced off with an apparent injury just 17 minutes into the Netherlands' Nations League match against Serbia in Belgrade. Gakpo suffered a heavy tackle from Sasa Lukic in the 12th minute and attempted to play on before signaling to the bench. He was pictured holding his left ankle prior to being replaced by PSV's Ruben van Bommel with the match still scoreless.

The setback adds to Liverpool's injury concerns following Alexander Isak's departure from Sweden's camp with a thigh injury. Manager Andoni Iraola's side faces upcoming fixtures against Manchester City, LASK, and Brentford following the international break. Netherlands manager Xavi was expected to provide an update on Gakpo's status after the match.
