Liverpool fans thrilled by new Cody Gakpo footage ahead of PSG showdown
Liverpool have been handed a significant injury boost ahead of a crucial week in their season after a new development regarding Cody Gakpo.
Arne Slot’s men have been bitten by the injury bug lately with Connor Bradley, Joe Gomez, and Gakpo all being sidelined for various reasons.
However, Liverpool have managed to remain consistent with their performances to build up a 15-point gap at the top of the Premier League table.
The Reds are set for two major matches away from the Premier League this week though as they face PSG on Tuesday (11 March) in the Champions League and then Newcastle on Sunday (16 March) in the EFL Cup final.
Liverpool boasts a one-goal lead heading into the second leg of their Round of 16 tie against PSG following what was a very tense first leg that was dominated by the French outfit.
An outstanding performance from Alisson Becker and a late goal from Harvey Elliott have allowed Liverpool to have a slender lead to protect for the game at Anfield.
Liverpool have been handed a huge boost ahead of PSG
Liverpool’s squad depth has been handed a major shot in the arm ahead of these games though as Gakpo returned to training this week.
The Netherlands international was spotted training with the rest of the first team as he takes a major step towards his return to the pitch, which could come as early as this week.

Gakpo has been out of action since February 26 when he suffered an ankle injury during Liverpool’s 2-0 win against Newcastle, with his return strengthening the options available to Slot.
Cody Gakpo could start against PSG
Liverpool fans have been buzzing about Gakpo’s return to training and insisted he “has to start” if he is “remotely fit.”
Other supporters have admitted they “missed him so much” while fans have warned PSG that “they ain’t ready” for Gakpo’s comeback.
