Gakpo and Co: On the Recovery Rollercoaster…
Liverpool’s recent win over Paris Saint-Germain was like watching a high-stakes heist movie—nerve-wracking, minus the leading star, Cody Gakpo. Arne Slot played it safe, keeping Gakpo wrapped in cotton wool as he nursed a training knock. Yet, Liverpool sneaked off with a 1-0 victory, plotting their master plan for the second leg at Anfield. Don’t worry, Gakpo’s sequel returns in 2025. Talk about a cliffhanger!
However, Liverpool’s sick bay isn’t just hosting Gakpo; it’s got more queues than a theme park on a sunny Saturday! Conor Bradley and Tyler Morton are stuck in the “injury time-out” zone, with no ETA for their glorious comebacks. Slot simply waved his crystal ball and shrugged, meaning we’ll have to wait longer than Liverpool’s title run last season.
Joe Gomez, meanwhile, is still learning to samba again post-hamstring surgery. Apparently, his return is casually penciled in for May 2025—it seems Liverpool’s hoping for a dramatic season finale. In the meantime, the team’s finding comfort in their new favorite chant: “You’ll limp alone!” – because that’s what you call dedication to the Reds!
