Cody Gakpo, one of Liverpool's top forwards, will unfortunately not be playing in today's highly anticipated match against Wolves at Anfield. The Dutch international has been in excellent form this season, scoring four goals and providing an assist in his last six games.
Despite starting in the intense Merseyside derby against Everton on Wednesday, Gakpo had to be substituted after 69 minutes due to a possible injury. Fans were hoping for his quick recovery, but unfortunately, Gakpo has not been able to regain full fitness in time for today's game.
This absence marks one of the two changes for Liverpool's starting lineup, with Trent Alexander-Arnold returning from his own injury to take the place of Conor Bradley at right-back. In addition, Diogo Jota will be replacing Gakpo in the front three.
Before the match, manager Arne Slot confirmed that Gakpo was a doubt for the game but did not provide further details on the extent of his injury. He did, however, mention that Alexander-Arnold was able to play for about half an hour in their last game and will be available for today's match.
Unfortunately, Joe Gomez and Tyler Morton will not be able to join their teammates on the field due to their own injuries. As for Gakpo, Slot is hoping for a quick recovery and is waiting to see how he feels on the day of the game. Gakpo was taken off during the last game due to a knock, so his condition will be closely monitored.
Despite Gakpo's absence, Liverpool is currently sitting comfortably at the top of the Premier League table, four points ahead of Arsenal. With a win today, they can extend their lead to seven points and maintain their dominant position in the league.
