Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo will both miss Liverpool's match against Manchester City this weekend due to injury, according to a confirmation from Andoni Iraola.
The absences are a blow for Liverpool as they prepare for one of the most demanding fixtures on the calendar. Isak and Gakpo have been important attacking options, and losing both players at the same time leaves the squad with fewer choices in the final third.
Iraola's confirmation provides clarity ahead of the match, allowing supporters and analysts to adjust their expectations for the lineup. The update came directly from the club's manager, leaving little room for speculation about the players' availability.
The injuries add to the pressure on the squad as the match against Manchester City approaches. Coaching staff will now need to decide how to rearrange the attack and which players will be asked to step up in the absence of Isak and Gakpo.
