Could be facing several weeks out

Gakpo will be lucky to avoid a spell on the sidelines with the ankle injury suffered on international duty, according to Luke Thrower of the Liverpool Echo, who cited medical expert Physio Scout's analysis of the tackle by Sasa Lukic that forced his ankle into eversion and external rotation, raising concern for a syndesmosis or high ankle sprain.

Analysis: Gakpo tried to play through the injury before being substituted in the Netherlands' win over Serbia, and reports from his home country suggest a few weeks out is likely, with his availability for Liverpool's Oct. 11 clash against Manchester City now uncertain. He has recorded one goal, three assists and 11 chances created across five Premier League appearances this season, and his potential absence, combined with Hugo Ekitike's long term injury (Achilles) and Federico Chiesa's continued absence (back), would leave Liverpool's attacking depth notably stretched, with Bradley Barcola, Victor Munoz and Rio Ngumoha likely to see increased opportunities.

Withdraws from Netherlands squad

Gakpo (ankle) has withdrawn from the Netherlands squad after being forced off during Sunday's 2-1 win over Serbia and will miss the remaining two matches of the international window, according to the club.

Analysis: Gakpo will return to Liverpool for further assessment after the ankle injury ended his appearance against Serbia during the first half. His availability for the Oct. 11 clash with Manchester City is now uncertain, with Liverpool also monitoring Alexander Isak's thigh injury. Gakpo has recorded one goal, three assists and 11 chances created across five Premier League appearances this season, making his fitness particularly important to Liverpool's attack. If he remains sidelined after the break, Bradley Barcola, Victor Munoz and Rio Ngumoha could see increased opportunities on the flanks.
