Liverpool Forward Cody Gakpo Set to Have Scan on Ankle Injury

Netherlands manager Xavi Hernandez stated that Cody Gakpo's ankle injury does not appear serious following his early substitution on Sunday against Serbia. The Liverpool forward was forced off after just 17 minutes following a heavy challenge from Sasa Lukic. Gakpo is scheduled to undergo an ankle scan on Monday to assess the full extent of the issue.

The update comes amid central attacking concerns for Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola, who already faces potential absences with Alexander Isak withdrawing from Sweden duty and Hugo Ekitike sidelined by injury. However, the Merseyside club will wait for Monday's final scan results before determining Gakpo's recovery timeline ahead of their return to domestic action.
