Among the shocks that the knockout stages of the Champions League offer, that between Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated. Traveling to the Parc des Princes, the Reds intend to come and shake up the Parisians, and try to do better than a Manchester City beaten on this lawn on January 22, during the league phase of the competition. But they could be forced to do without one of their offensive elements.
This Tuesday, Cody Gakpo was absent from the final training session of his team. If no official communication has currently taken place, uncertainty is now serious about the participation of the Dutch in the meeting on Wednesday (9 p.m.). The exact reason for this absence has not been revealed either and it will certainly have to wait for the Arne Slot press conference scheduled for the end of the day (7:30 p.m.) to have the end of the story.
Jota ready to replace Gakpo
The Liverpool coach should therefore say more about the form of a Cody Gakpo who did not play much in February due to a glitch to a clipped ankle on this month during the derby against Everton (2-2). If he participated in the duels against Manchester City and Newcastle, he could therefore miss a new important meeting on Wednesday evening.
This absence will not change the danger of
Reds Since it was Diogo Jota who would then replace him alongside Mohamed Salah and other Luis Diaz. The defenders of Paris Saint-Germain are ready, they who expect a particularly busy evening against the Liverpuldian offensive arrows.
