Liverpool manager Arne Slot has provided an update on Cody Gakpo’s fitness ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain.
Cody Gakpo, who recently returned from injury, suffered a setback during training after blocking a shot and feeling pain in the same area. Slot revealed that the Dutch forward was close to being match-ready but will now face a late fitness test to determine if he can be part of the squad.
“He was close to being ready to play again, but unfortunately, he had to block a shot and felt pain again,” Slot said. “We have taken him to judge tomorrow if he can be part of the squad. It will be a close call.”
Gakpo’s potential absence would be a blow for Liverpool, as they aim to secure a positive result in the first leg of their last-16 tie at the Parc des Princes. Fans will be hoping for good news as the Reds prepare for this crucial European encounter.
