Relief as a fresh update emerges on Cody Gakpo's injury

Expected time frame for Cody Gakpo's return from  injury has been confirmed

After undergoing a medical scan, concerns over Gakpo's prolonged absence from the field have been mitigated.

Gakpo is now expected to be out of action until the conclusion of the international break.

This means that he will not be present for the Europa League match against Union Saint-Gilloise at Anfield on Thursday, as well as the Premier League match against Brighton on Sunday.

Assuming his recuperation progresses without a hitch, there is a glimmer of hope that he might be fit in time for Liverpool's match against Everton on October 21st, which takes place after the international break.

On a day filled with misfortune, Liverpool's manager Jurgen Klopp regarded Gakpo's injury as the most significant issue. Throughout the match, the team experienced a series of unfortunate events, including the disallowance of Luis Diaz's goal due to an incorrect offside call, the expulsion of Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota, and ultimately, conceding a late defeat due to Joel Matip's own goal.
