Liverpool star set to miss LASK clash
The Dutchman had to be substituted early against Serbia due to ankle problems. A weeks-long injury layoff is looming.
Liverpool will reportedly have to do without Cody Gakpo for several weeks.
The 27-year-old Dutchman had to be substituted after just 18 minutes in the UEFA Nations League match against Serbia due to ankle problems. The Dutch Football Association announced on Monday that the winger is already on his way back to the "Reds" due to the injury.
Likely out for several weeks
According to sports journalist Rik Elfrink of "Eindhovens Dagblad", further examinations in Eindhoven have estimated the recovery period to be several weeks.
Thus, the Dutch international is also expected to miss the clash with LASK in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League (October 14).
With two goals and four assists, the pacy dribbler was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise disappointing start to the season. He also directly contributed a goal in the first game under the new national coach Xavi.
