Despite worries over Cody Gakpo’s fitness after he was missing from the team’s training session ahead of the Champions League match, coach Arne Slot confirmed that Gakpo had blocked a shot and felt some pain, raising doubts about his availability for the game at the Parc des Princes.
However, liverpoolfc.com has now reported that Gakpo is part of the traveling squad, giving fans a boost. This suggests there’s no need to risk the 25-year-old if he isn’t fully fit.
Other injury concerns include Conor Bradley, Joe Gomez, and Tyler Morton, but Liverpool should still have enough depth if Gakpo can’t play. The final decision will likely depend on whether Gakpo is risked for this match or saved for the home leg next week. In any case, the squad should be strong enough to secure a victory. With an easier fixture against Southampton on Saturday, Liverpool has the chance to rest key players ahead of the Paris match.
