Will Gakpo Walk Again This Weekend?…
Liverpool’s latest drama series, “The Injury Chronicles,” features Cody Gakpo, our favorite limping winger. Manager Arne “Slot the Great,” is playing the guessing game about Cody’s return against Southampton this weekend. Cody’s ankle decided to play games since the epic 2-2 draw with Everton, and let’s be real, it’s been holding more press than ever before!
The poor guy has been benched more often than peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in kid lunches. He reappeared momentarily for cameos against Man City and Newcastle, but let’s face it, Gakpo’s ankle is tougher to work with than a reality TV diva. Arne took Cody on a mini Parisian vacation with hopes he’d charm PSG, but alas, the only “bench” Cody saw was the airport terminal’s.
Now, Liverpool’s left wing position is like a game of musical chairs! Slot might spin the Luis Diaz roulette wheel again or maybe give Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa their Hollywood debut on Saturday. Liverpool’s injury list reads longer than a Shakespearean play, with the likes of Conor “The Unseen” Bradley, Joe “The Wall” Gomez taking a hiatus too. Arne, always dramatic, says, “Luck or magic,” has kept injuries low this season. But clearly, their magic wand missed Cody’s ankle!
