The Story in 60 Seconds

Liverpool forwards Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo are major doubts ahead of Sunday's match against Manchester City at Anfield. Both players returned early from international duty due to injuries, with Isak sustaining a thigh issue with Sweden and Gakpo suffering an ankle injury with the Netherlands. Manager Andoni Iraola confirmed that both attackers are currently sidelined, leaving their availability uncertain.

The potential absences add to existing squad concerns, with Hugo Ekitike already out with an Achilles injury and defender Jeremy Jacquet dealing with a hamstring strain. Unbeaten Liverpool face a Manchester City side that has won all of their matches, posing a major challenge for Iraola's side.
