Arne Slot has confirmed that in-form winger Cody Gakpo has been ruled out of Liverpool’s Premier League match against Aston Villa on Wednesday night.
Gakpo has rediscovered his form since joining forces with his fellow Dutchman Slot, after struggling to secure a regular starting spot last season. He has become Liverpool’s primary option on the left wing, forcing Luis Diaz into a less familiar central role to accommodate both players.
However, Gakpo missed Sunday’s win over Wolves due to a knock and is not yet fit to return, with Slot declaring him “unavailable” for the Villa match when speaking to the media.
