Impact Gakpo has a few days of training in him and it looks like he should get minutes from the bench Thursday, at a minimum. Prior to injury, he was in and out of the starting XI and that may be the case this season as long as Liverpool's bevy of forwards remain healthy. When 100 percent, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez may be the preferred options alongside Mohamed Salah, though that could change by the week.

Impact Gakpo was originally given a two-match timeline, so a return in two weeks lines up with that. It sounds only like an ankle sprain, though he was in a brace for a couple days, so that part is worrying. More information should be made known during the break, but it sounds like Gakpo should be playing before the month is over.

Confirmed out Thursday Gakpo (ankle) will miss Thursday's Europa League match, confirmed manager Jurgen Klopp.

Scores, leaves injured Gakpo bagged a goal Saturday against Tottenham but also left the game with an apparent hamstring injury. He was replaced by Diogo Jota at halftime.

Impact Gakpo scored the equalizer for the Reds just before the break, but he appeared to pick up a hamstring injury right after striking the ball and didn't return for the second half. Hamstring injuries are tricky, and it wouldn't be surprising if he's sidelined until after the international break. For now, he should be considered extremely doubtful to face Union SG in the UEFA Europa League next Thursday.

Falls to bench Gakpo played 25 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 3-0 win over Aston Villa.

Impact Gakpo has yet to get on the scoresheet in the opening four matches and was relegated to the bench for the fourth match. It's a concern for the striker who struggled and was brought off at around 60 minutes in the opening matches. With Darwin Nunez in good form Gakpo may struggle to see Premier League minutes. That said with Liverpool likely rotating to meet the demands of the Europa League, Gakpo should still have plenty of opportunities.

Impact Gakpo got the start in central midfield Saturday, his second start at the more reserved position since joining Liverpool. While he wasn't overly productive in the new role it's a good sign that Gakpo is getting on the pitch alongside Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota. With so many options there is plenty of competition for starting time in the attack, though Gakpo would be a dangerous option whenever he slots into the starting XI.
