Liverpool Provide Concerning Injury Update on Key Players Ahead of Potential PSG Clash | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain cruised to a 3-0 win over Stade Brestois in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League knockout play-off on Tuesday night at Stade de Roudourou, with Ousmane Dembélé scoring twice.

Unless Brest pulls off a major comeback, PSG will face either Barcelona or Liverpool in the Round of 16. This dominant performance underscores the impressive form of Luis Enrique’s squad in recent matches.

In their last four games, PSG has outscored opponents 14-3, securing victories over RB Salzburg, Manchester City, VfB Stuttgart, and now Brest.

As a result, Liverpool will need to ensure a fully fit squad ahead of a potential clash with PSG.

With that looming tie in mind, Liverpool manager Arne Slot provided a concerning update on Cody Gakpo’s fitness ahead of their Sunday match against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield.

“Cody is a bit of a doubt as well, so let’s wait [to see] how he is today,” Slot said (h/t Anfield Index). “I had to take him off [against Everton] because of an injury, because he got a knock, so let’s see how he is today.”

Meanwhile, Joe Gomez and Tyler Morton remain sidelined due to injury, limiting Slot’s options for the Wolves encounter.

PSG need to get past Brest on Wednesday, but later in the week, the Reds might have to be wondering if their injury issues will spill over into a potential tie against the French giants.
