Reason why Gakpo not in Liverpool squad v Everton named — not injury

Liverpool have named their matchday squad against Everton. Cody Gakpo misses out today. The Dutchman is not injured though.

As per James Pearce, the forward's girlfriend has gone into labour. That's why he's out of the squad today.

The 24-year-old has scored six goals and provided four assists in 31 Premier League appearances so far this season.

Jurgen Klopp said: “Cody probably has the best excuse of all! Timing is not great, but much more important, right now they are expecting a baby. Now maybe!”
