Cody Gakpo’s participation in Liverpool’s Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday is uncertain. The game is the first leg of their Round of 16 tie and will be played at Parc des Princes.
Gakpo was absent from the final training session before the match, although he was included in the travelling squad by manager Arne Slot. Slot mentioned that the Dutch player felt a “new pain,” but didn’t specify the injury. A final decision about Gakpo playing against PSG will be made closer to the match.
Therefore, it’s likely Gakpo will not be in the starting lineup. It is expected that the attacking trio will be Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, and Mohamed Salah. Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley are the main players unavailable for Liverpool for this game.
