Liverpool to miss Isak and Gakpo against Manchester City
Liverpool lose two forwards before the Anfield match, though the coaching staff expects both injuries to be short-term.
Liverpool will be without Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo when they face Manchester City at Anfield in the latest Premier League match. Both are not ready to play after sustaining injuries while representing their national teams in the UEFA Nations League. Liverpool's coach said the team had hoped for no bad news from the medical staff, but ultimately had to accept the absence of the two forwards. Even so, the coaching staff believe the injuries to Isak and Gakpo will not keep them out for long. The setback is a blow for Liverpool ahead of the crucial match against City, as Isak and Gakpo have been key figures in the team's attack this season.
