Liverpool without Isak, Gakpo for Heavyweight Man City Clash
Liverpool could be without two key attackers as Jeremy Jacquet returns, while Manchester City arrive after a guilty verdict on financial breaches.
- Head coach Andoni Iraola confirmed Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo will miss Sunday's match at Anfield after both sustained injuries during the international break, with Isak suffering a thigh issue and Gakpo an ankle problem.
- Manchester City plays their first match since an independent commission found them guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules over a nine-season period, though the club denies wrongdoing and has appealed the verdict.
- Central defender Jeremy Jacquet returned to full team training on Thursday after recovering from a hamstring strain, offering Liverpool a crucial defensive lift ahead of the high-stakes weekend encounter.
- Anfield's atmosphere is expected to be intense as supporters react to City's legal findings, while 21-year-old Lewis Koumas is likely to lead the attack in place of the injured duo.
- Addressing the broader uncertainty, Iraola stressed the team must remain focused on their performance, saying "uncertainty is not good for anyone" while the legal process remains ongoing.
