Following an injury scare, Cody Gakpo’s scan results are released for Liverpool vs. Everton. James Pearce
According to James Pearce, Liverpool attacker Cody Gakpo will be out until after the international break and may then play against Everton in the Merseyside derby.
The Athletic journalist shared on their live blog on Tuesday, October 2, that a scan has since allayed concerns about a protracted period of recovery, but Gakpo is still anticipated to miss their European match against Union Saint-Gilloise at Anfield and Sunday’s Premier League trip to Brighton.
He might be eligible for selection, nevertheless, if his recovery goes according to plan, for the match against Everton at Anfield on October 21.
Bad news for Everton
Gakpo’s absence from their match at Anfield on October 21 could have been forgiven by Everton supporters, but it appears like he will be ready in time for that game.
After their disastrous performance against Luton Town at the weekend, the Toffees are in a difficult situation right now, and Dyche will be hoping his squad can pick up some much-needed results before that Merseyside derby match.
Next weekend’s match between Everton and Bournemouth is crucial for them to win so they can go into the international break with some newfound optimism and confidence.
When that break is over, Dyche and his team will undoubtedly face a baptism of fire at Anfield, and considering their appalling track record on Liverpool’s home ground in recent seasons, the omens don’t currently look good.
Because of this, it is imperative that they defeat Bournemouth this coming weekend; else, it might be game over for Dyche and his career at Everton.
