Cody Gakpo, who nearly joined both Tottenham and Manchester City this summer but committed to Liverpool, suffered an injury during the Netherlands' Nations League clash against Croatia. Twelve minutes into the match, Gakpo was involved in a heavy tackle by Fulham's Sasa Lukic, which earned Lukic a yellow card. Despite initial efforts to continue playing, Gakpo signaled he could not proceed five minutes later and was substituted for Ruben van Bommel from PSV. The exact nature of his injury, likely involving his left ankle, remains uncertain as the match concluded. With Liverpool facing crucial games against Manchester City, LASK, and Brentford immediately after the international break, Gakpo's condition is a significant concern. Netherlands manager Xavi will provide an update on Gakpo’s status post-match.
