Ankle Injury Forces Gakpo Out of Dutch Squad

On Monday, Liverpool announced forward Cody Gakpo withdrew from international duty with the Netherlands after sustaining an ankle injury during Sunday's 2-1 Nations League win over Serbia in Belgrade.
The 27-year-old forward suffered the injury after a strong challenge from Ipswich midfielder Sasa Lukic in the first half, forcing him off after 17 minutes.
Gakpo will miss Nations League matches against Greece and Serbia, with the Dutch Football Association confirming no replacement will be called up to the squad.
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola faces a compounded injury concern as striker Alexander Isak also withdrew from Sweden's squad with a minor injury, requiring assessment at the AXA Training Centre.
Both players will be evaluated by club medical staff ahead of Liverpool's Premier League clash against Manchester City on October 11, with their availability uncertain.
