Cody Gakpo, Liverpool's star forward with 16 goals this season, missed the match against Paris Saint-Germain due to a training injury. Previously recovering from a knock, Gakpo was hopeful to play but felt pain during practice. Manager Arne Slot mentioned Gakpo's condition was monitored, hinting at a possible return against Southampton. In his absence, teammate Harvey Elliott scored the winner against PSG. Gakpo's potential return remains uncertain, as he is gradually being integrated back into the first team after a prior injury stint.
"We were hopeful that Gakpo would be fit to play against Paris Saint-Germain, but unfortunately he felt pain during training after recovering from an injury."
"Gakpo's absence was notable in our narrow victory, but the team stepped up, with Harvey Elliott scoring the only goal with our lone shot on target."
