Liverpool have been handed a worrying double injury scare just days before their massive Premier League showdown with Manchester City at Anfield, with Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo both reportedly missing Thursday’s training session! 😱
According to Liverpool Echo chief correspondent Paul Gorst, both forwards are now major doubts for Sunday’s blockbuster encounter, raising serious concerns about Liverpool’s attacking options.
💔 ISAK AND GAKPO IN SERIOUS DOUBT!
Isak reportedly picked up a thigh problem while on international duty with Sweden, while Gakpo suffered an ankle injury during the Netherlands’ clash against Serbia.
Gakpo’s situation is particularly concerning, with fears emerging earlier in the international break that his injury could keep him out for weeks following a heavy challenge.
Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola has acknowledged that both players are carrying injuries, although their chances of featuring against City have not been completely ruled out.
With Hugo Ekitike already sidelined with an Achilles injury, Liverpool could face a major attacking crisis at the worst possible time. 😬
🔥 LEWIS KOUMAS COULD GET THE BIGGEST CHANCE OF HIS CAREER!
If Isak and Gakpo are unavailable, young forward Lewis Koumas could be handed a huge opportunity to step up.
The 20-year-old has reportedly impressed with his recent performances for Wales, and Liverpool may need their young talents to deliver if their senior attackers fail to recover in time.
Summer signing Bradley Barcola and winger Víctor Muñoz could also come into the picture as Liverpool consider their options ahead of the crucial showdown.
👀 Will Isak and Gakpo recover in time to face Manchester City, or are Liverpool heading into Sunday’s clash without two important attacking options?
The final decision will depend on their fitness ahead of the game.
🔴 LIVERPOOL FANS, THIS IS WORRYING! WHAT IS YOUR PREDICTION FOR SUNDAY?
