Are Isak & Gakpo Out? Huge Injury Blow For The Reds

Newsround with Dave Davis begins with an international break Liverpool could have done without.

Alexander Isak has returned to Liverpool after Sweden manager Graham Potter revealed the striker has a minor thigh problem, leaving the Reds waiting to discover whether he will be available for the looming Manchester City fixture. With Hugo Ekitike already undergoing long term rehabilitation, another problem at number nine would leave Liverpool desperately short.

There is potentially greater concern surrounding Cody Gakpo, who is set for a scan after being forced off while playing for the Netherlands following a heavy scissor challenge. With Isak and Gakpo among Liverpool's most productive attacking players, Dave assesses what their potential absence could mean for Andoni Iraola.

Meanwhile, Jeremy Jacquet and Bradley Barcola could still feature for France, keeping Liverpool supporters nervously watching the remainder of the international schedule.

Dave also discusses Yankuba Minteh's continued Liverpool links, Virgil van Dijk's impressive international performance and the latest developments surrounding Manchester City's Premier League case.
