Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed that Cody Gakpo and Joe Gomez won’t be involved in the upcoming Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur on the road.
The Merseyside giants returned to winning ways last weekend with a 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion at home. Hugo Ekitike was the star of the show with a fantastic brace.
The Reds will be aiming to continue the momentum against Spurs tomorrow, but they will be without the services of Gakpo as well as Gomez.
When asked for an update on the duo, Slot said: “He [Cody Gakpo] had a scan that looked promising, so we’re not that worried anymore.
“He might come back earlier than expected, but definitely not tomorrow. Joe [Gomez] is not in the squad as well.”
Liverpool started the season with five league wins on the bounce, but have picked up only 11 points from their last 11 matches.
Despite this, they are only two points behind the final Champions League spot and have the chance to make up further ground.
