“Arne Slot unsure about the fitness of 16-goal star ahead of crucial PSG match: ‘It’ll be a tight decision.'”

Liverpool could be without a key player for their crucial Champions League showdown against PSG tomorrow.

Arne Slot has admitted he is uncertain whether Cody Gakpo will be available for the clash at Parc des Princes. The Dutch forward, who returned against Manchester City after an injury suffered in the Merseyside Derby, is dealing with another knock, according to his manager.

“He was close to being ready, but unfortunately, he had to block a shot yesterday and felt some pain again,” Slot said (via Liverpoolfc.com). “We brought him with us to assess his condition tomorrow, but it’s a close call.”

Gakpo’s inclusion in the traveling squad suggests a final decision will be made on matchday. While Liverpool have other attacking options, losing the 16-goal forward would be a significant setback.

With a massive fixture list ahead, including the League Cup final and the Premier League title race, Liverpool won’t want to take unnecessary risks with his fitness. Whether he plays against PSG remains uncertain—we’ll have to wait and see.
