Missing Wednesday
Gakpo (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's match against Atletico Madrid.
Analysis: Gakpo is not with his team for the UCL opener after he was out of training due to precautionary measures, raising some worries about his health moving forward. The hope is that he just misses the one game to make a quick turnaround, not being risked in the first match of UCL play. However, this is undetermined, with Liverpool taking the field next against Fulham on Saturday.
Misses training as precaution
Gakpo did not take part in Liverpool's session Tuesday, with his absence described as precautionary, according to Ian Doyle of Liverpool Echo.
Analysis: Gakpo skipped Tuesday's session with what has been described as a minor issue, and with no comment from Andoni Iraola in the pre-match media session, there is no indication the club considers it serious. That leaves his involvement against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday uncertain. The winger has started the season strongly with a goal and three assists in the Premier League, including both assists in the 2-0 win at Ipswich. If he is fit enough for tomorrow, a place on the bench is the most likely outcome, which could allow Bradley Barcola or Rio Ngumoha to start.
