Jurgen Klopp Optimistic About Cody Gakpo’s Return After International Break, But Concerns Loom For Thiago Alcantara

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is facing a mixed bag of injury news as he assesses the status of two key players, Cody Gakpo and Thiago Alcantara.

Gakpo recently sustained a knee injury during a clash against Tottenham, sidelining him for Liverpool’s upcoming Premier League match against Brighton. Fortunately, scans have revealed that the injury is less severe than initially feared. Klopp expressed hope, saying, “Cody has a good chance to come back after the international break. He’s walking normally now. We’ve made the best of what could have been a very bad injury. But he’s still injured.”

On the other hand, Thiago Alcantara’s situation is far from encouraging. The midfielder has been out of action since April and has suffered two injuries this season. Klopp acknowledged the setback, stating, “It’s not a big injury, but it’s serious enough to keep him out. It’s not the same injury, but it’s the same. The same with Bajcetic. I don’t know when they’ll be back yet. I’m not going to stress about it.”

As Liverpool navigates a challenging season, Klopp and the fans will be hoping for a swift recovery for both Gakpo and Thiago to bolster the team’s prospects.
