Prior to their Europa League match, Liverpool has announced Cody Gakpo, Curtis Jones, and Diogo Jota injury news expected return dates.

Recent injury reports for Liverpool following the Reds’ 2-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

Cody Gakpo suffered an injury in Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur, and Liverpool is awaiting further information on the incident.
The forward is just one of many Reds who may miss the team’s trip to Brighton and Hove Albion the following weekend.

At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Gakpo was replaced just minutes after he had canceled out Son Heung-min’s 36th-minute goal.

Gakpo wasn’t the only Liverpool player to leave the field early during the defeat in North London, as Curtis Jones and Jota were both given red cards by referee Simon Hooper either side of their respective teams’ equalizers.

Following are the most recent Liverpool injury updates and potential return dates.

Cody Gakpo.

Gakpo was traveling back to Merseyside with a brace on his leg, according to Klopp in his post-game press conference following the defeat in North London.

“To be honest, the biggest issue with the game.
“We got a free-kick before Cody Gakpo scored, and he got hurt.
He now has a brace on and is limping down the hallway,” the Liverpool manager told reporters.
To be completely honest, that is currently my biggest issue.
Really, really bad, we lost two players (due to red cards) and possibly a third. So, yes, that is something we must obviously address.

When asked if Gakpo’s injury was a “bad one,” Klopp responded, “Perhaps, I don’t know.
He was braced.
Even though he had just scored, he still felt the impact of that shot. It was caused by the earlier foul.

Expected return date: Unknown

Curtis Jones.

In the 26th minute, Jones was dismissed for Yves Bissouma’s lunge.
Prior to VAR’s recommendation that he watch the challenge on the pitch-side monitor, referee Simon Hooper initially gave the midfielder a yellow card for the tackle.

Hooper quickly glanced at slowed-down replays before brandishing a red card in Jones’ direction.

Jones will currently miss the Reds’ upcoming matches against Brighton, Everton, and Nottingham Forest as a result of his dismissal, which carries a three-match suspension.

He will be available for Thursday’s Europa League match against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise of Belgium.
Next month’s League Cup match against Bournemouth could mark his return to domestic competition.

Return date: November 1

Diogo Jota.

Liverpool was later down to nine men after Jota was dismissed for receiving two yellow cards in quick succession after Jones’ first-half dismissal.

But unlike Jones, the Portugal international will only miss one game of his suspension and will be eligible for selection when Everton comes to Anfield on October 21.

Thiago Alcantara.

 

Prior to their Europa League match, Liverpool has announced Cody Gakpo, Curtis Jones, and Diogo Jota injury news expected return dates.

The midfielder hasn’t played since April, extending his absence from Liverpool to six months.

The Spaniard has not yet resumed training after experiencing a setback in his recovery from hip surgery at the tail end of last season.

Pep Lijnders responded, “We’ve missed Thiago, no?
He makes the ball arrive in the right spaces, when asked about the midfielder’s fitness last week. We need him back.
Although he has yet to resume training, he is recovering.
How that turns out will depend on time.

Expected return date: Unknown 

Conor Bradley.

The young full-back displayed promise during preseason games in Germany, playing 90 minutes over the course of two games.

Following a minor, unidentified injury, he was later excluded from the group that traveled to Singapore.
He hasn’t been included in any matchday squads since the season’s start, but he has been participating in training since his teammates returned to England.

After demonstrating his abilities in League One with Bolton Wanderers the previous season, the Northern Irishman is anticipated to fit into Klopp’s plans as Alexander-Arnold’s backup once he is healthy.

Expected return date: Unknown
