Liverpool confident Cody Gakpo will be fit for Manchester City clash

According to Liverpool Echo, Liverpool fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Cody Gakpo is expected to be fit for the upcoming Premier League clash against Manchester City.

The Dutch international was forced to withdraw from international duty with the Netherlands due to an illness. However, the club is optimistic that he will be fully fit for the crucial fixture against the league leaders.

Gakpo has been a key player for Liverpool since signing for the club, contributing with crucial goals and assists. His presence on the pitch has been a huge boost for the team, and his absence would have been a massive blow for the club.

Liverpool fans will be hoping that Gakpo can maintain his impressive form and help the club secure a crucial victory against Manchester City. The fixture is a must-win for the Reds who are pushing to get into the top four.

The clash with Manchester City is one of the biggest games of the season, and Liverpool will be looking to make a statement by beating the league leaders. The Reds have struggled in recent weeks, with injuries and poor form contributing to a series of disappointing results.

The Dutchman has been a revelation since joining Liverpool in January, and his ability to create chances and score goals has been a key factor in the club’s success in a few games recently, most importantly against Manchester City.

While Liverpool will be buoyed by Gakpo’s return, they will be wary of the threat posed by Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s side have been in imperious form this season, and are pushing for the title.

However, the return of Gakpo will give Liverpool fans reason to be optimistic. The forward has the ability to change the course of a game, and his presence on the pitch could be the difference between victory and defeat.
