Liverpool rocked by unexpected injury crisis ahead of crucial Manchester City clash – can they survive the storm?
Well, here we go again — just when you think Liverpool might have a faint glimmer of hope with their striking options, boom! Both Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo are out of the Sunday showdown against Manchester City. It’s no shock, really, since both players bailed out during the international break due to injuries. Still, you can’t help but hold your breath praying one of these two could tough it out. Spoiler alert: they won’t. That means boss Andoni Iraola’s got to shuffle the deck, likely placing his faith in Lewis Koumas to spearhead the attack. As Iraola put it, bad luck struck with injuries—Gakpo wrestling with an ankle tweak after a nasty tackle, and Isak sidelined by a thigh strain. Neither looks like a long-term casualty, but neither is match-ready for the Premier League’s heaviest hitters. With these setbacks, the manager’s keeping his options open but counts on Koumas to give it his all. Want to get the full scoop on this unfolding story?
