Cody Gakpo - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Adds assist in loss Gakpo assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 3-2 loss versus Fenerbahce.

Impact Gakpo provided one assist during Wednesday's frustrating loss. It was another creative performance from the winger, who created three chances and nearly added more. He was dangerous every time he got on the ball, taking on his man and causing issues for the backline. He should continue to get plenty of chances across all competitions.

Eight crosses in loss Gakpo generated one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (one accurate) and six corners in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Gakpo surprisingly took a lion share of the set-pieces during Sunday's loss. He wasn't very productive with them, but that sort of volume should be a major boon for his floor. Gakpo has been excellent to start this season, though his production has slowed since his red-hot opening month. He should remain a key fixture in Liverpool's wide rotation.

Busy in win Gakpo recorded six shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-0 win against Brighton.

Impact Gakpo had monstrous volume throughout Sunday's win, he did essentially everything except get his name on the scoresheet. The winger was dangerous with the ball, a threat every time he went forward and peppered the box with shots and created a pair of chances. Gakpo has been one of the best Liverpool attackers this season, and seems to be carving out a strong role.

Assists Tuesday Gakpo assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Tuesday's 4-3 victory against Villarreal.

Impact Gakpo was back in the team and back among the goals during Tuesday's win. The winger set up Florian Wirtz after combining nicely down the left flank. He also created three chances as Liverpool ran rampant during the second half. The winger is off to a red-hot start this season, and should remain a big part of the team as long as he can stay fit.

Back on bench Saturday Gakpo (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Brentford.

Impact Gakpo returns to the squad after missing Liverpool's matches against Manchester City and LASK with an ankle injury. The winger suffered the issue following a heavy challenge while representing the Netherlands, with his recovery largely dependent on pain management. He is now available as a substitute and could make his return if called upon. Bradley Barcola and Rio Ngumoha face additional competition for minutes on the left wing with Gakpo back in contention.

Impact Gakpo continues to recover from an ankle injury sustained following a heavy challenge while representing the Netherlands during the international break. The winger has already missed Liverpool's last two matches against Manchester City and LASK, but manager Iraola has not ruled out a return against Brentford. His availability will depend on how he progresses ahead of the final training session Friday, with the injury previously described as a matter of pain management rather than a long-term concern. Bradley Barcola and Rio Ngumoha could continue competing for minutes on the left wing if Gakpo remains unavailable.

Impact Gakpo sustained an ankle injury following a heavy challenge while representing the Netherlands during the international break, forcing him to miss Sunday's Premier League clash against Manchester City. Manager Andoni Iraola previously indicated that the winger's recovery would largely depend on his ability to manage the pain, suggesting the injury is not expected to result in an extended absence. However, Gakpo has yet to recover sufficiently to return to competitive action, leaving Liverpool without another attacking option Wednesday. Bradley Barcola and Rio Ngumoha could continue seeing additional opportunities on the left wing, while Gakpo's availability for the next league fixture against Brentford on Saturday remains uncertain.

Impact Gakpo suffered an ankle injury while representing the Netherlands during the international break and was absent from Liverpool's team training session Thursday. Although manager Iraola suggested the issue is not expected to keep him sidelined long term, the winger has yet to recover sufficiently to feature against Manchester City. His absence adds to Liverpool's attacking concerns, with Alexander Isak (thigh) also ruled out and Federico Chiesa (back) and Hugo Ekitike (Achilles) dealing with fitness issues. Bradley Barcola and Rio Ngumoha could consequently see increased opportunities on the left wing while Gakpo remains unavailable.

Still sidelined ahead of Man City Gakpo (ankle) remains doubtful for Sunday's Premier League clash against Manchester City after missing Liverpool's training session Thursday, according to the Liverpool Echo.

Impact Gakpo's availability for Sunday's clash against Manchester City remains uncertain after he missed Thursday's training session, suggesting he has yet to recover fully from the ankle injury sustained during international duty with the Netherlands. With only a few days remaining before the match, the winger faces a race against time to regain fitness, while manager Andoni Iraola is expected to provide a further update Friday. Liverpool are already dealing with several attacking injuries, including Alexander Isak (thigh), Federico Chiesa (back) and Hugo Ekitike (Achilles). Should Gakpo remain sidelined, Bradley Barcola and Rio Ngumoha could be among the options to cover on the left wing.

Impact Gakpo has not received much of an update since the first week of the international break, when he suffered his injury, as his status is still unclear. Even with the slight chance of the winger appearing, it seems unlikely he would receive much time, being cautious to avoid any further injury. That said, there is also still the chance that the Dutch attacker misses more time than just the City match if he does not play, potentially leaving Liverpool in a tough spot, as Federico Chiesa (back), Alexander Isak (thigh) and Hugo Ekitike (Achilles) are other attackers also dealing with injuries.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact Gakpo could miss upcoming games for both club and country, though there's optimism that he won't face a significant absence. With Alexander Isak (thigh) causing further concern in Liverpool's attack, Gakpo's status will be crucial ahead of the next league fixtures. He recently saw action on both wings and was in decent form with three goals and four assists over his last eight matches played across all competitions, including his latest two international outings. Two among Bradley Barcola, Victor Munoz and Rio Ngumoha might feature on the flanks if the injured player is sidelined until after the break.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Forced off injured Gakpo was forced off in the 17th minute of Sunday's match against Serbia due to an apparent leg injury.

Impact Gakpo wouldn't last long Sunday as his Nations League Group Stage match ended due to a rough tackle that injured the attacker's leg. This just adds to a rough international break for Liverpool, as Alexander Isak (thigh) suffered an injury as well, potentially losing two of their top attackers. A further update from Liverpool or the Netherlands should come soon after the match, with the Reds hoping they don't lose a player with four goals in five appearances this season, one of their more important players.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Excellent on the right Gakpo recorded two shots (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Gakpo got the start on the right wing with Bradley Barcola on the left and was excellent. Gakpo didn't get the assist due to a deflection off Florian Wirtz, but he did all the work to set up Alexander Isak for the only goal during the win. Gakpo should remain a huge part of the starting XI as long as he maintains this sort of form.

Impact Gakpo bounced back from an unproductive league performance and continued his solid overall campaign, with his contributions in the cup clash adding to the lone goal and three assists he achieved over the initial three EPL matches. His current form should help him retain a spot on either wing in the near future, granting him offensive value as part of a strong attacking unit.

Poor off bench Gakpo recorded one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Fulham.

Impact Gakpo came off the bench during Saturday's draw and was busy, but couldn't break down a resolute defense. Gakpo has been excellent to start the season, and now that he's back fit and available he will likely compete for starts. He has a chance to play on both the left and right as Liverpool figure out their best XI.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Saturday Gakpo (groin) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Fulham.

Impact Gakpo passed his late fitness assessment after coach Andoni Iraola confirmed he would train Friday and that a decision would be made on his availability following his absence from the Champions League win over Atletico Madrid. The winger's response to Friday's session was encouraging enough to earn him a spot in the squad, but manager Iraola opted to manage his return carefully given the adductor discomfort that had complicated his situation in recent days, with Gakpo available to provide cover from the bench if needed.
