Gody Gakpo could be facing a spell on the sidelines after leaving the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium wearing a leg brace. The Liverpool forward had just scored an equalising goal shortly before half-time, when he suffered the injury in a challenge from Destiny Udogie.
Gakpo had to be helped away from the pitch in obvious pain, and his coach Jurgen Klopp spoke of the player's plight after the game.
“Cody is now with a brace limping down the corridor,” said Klopp. “That’s my biggest problem, to be honest, in this moment. We lost two players [to red cards] and maybe a third player [to injury], really bad. He scored a goal but after that shot he felt it even more. It was from the foul before.”
Klopp was left furious with the decision to rule out Luis Diaz's goal, which was chalked off due to a 'significant human error' by the VAR officials. The Liverpool boss also disagreed with the red card decisions that saw Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota sent off.
Gakpo will undergo a scan to determine the severity of the injury, and the team will have to cope without him in the meantime. The Netherlands international will likely join fellow Liverpool players on the sidelines, as his side suffered a 2-1 defeat to Tottenham, with a late Joel Matip own goal sealing the win for Spurs.
