Cody Gakpo was not involved in team training on Friday as Liverpool prepared for the Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Arne Slot had revealed in his pre-match press conference that the attacker was a doubt following a knock sustained in the 2-2 draw with Everton on Wednesday.

Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo is a doubt to face Wolves on Sunday after picking up a knock in the 2-2 draw against Everton in midweek. The in-form Dutchman has scored in his last seven appearances at Anfield but was forced off in the 69th minute of the Merseyside derby.

As a result, Slot may feel inclined to hand Darwin Nunez a chance to start as their No.9, with Diaz keeping his place and reverting to his natural role as a left winger. If the South American doesn’t improve there, Gakpo could replace Diaz in midweek against Aston Villa or fill in as their centre forward ahead of Nunez.
