If all goes well, a few weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/02\/10\/76024489-12583639-Gakpo_scored_for_Liverpool_but_immediately_went_down_to_the_grou-a-1_1696238382760.jpg\" height=\"421\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Liverpool&#8217;s goalscorer Cody Gakpo went down to the ground in pain, before he was replaced<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/02\/10\/76024501-12583639-Jurgen_Klopp_insisted_the_biggest_problem_from_Liverpool_s_loss_-a-2_1696238385697.jpg\" height=\"392\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jurgen Klopp insisted the &#8216;biggest problem&#8217; from Liverpool&#8217;s loss to Spurs is Gakpo&#8217;s injury<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The Dutch matches in October do not seem feasible for the former PSV player at the moment.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Gakpo&#8217;s injury only adds to Liverpool&#8217;s growing absence list as Klopp begrudged that he had lost three players from the game via upcoming suspensions and injury.<\/p>\n<p>After the match, Klopp explained the attacker&#8217;s &#8216;really bad&#8217; injury to the club&#8217;s website.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We got a free-kick and he got injured and he is now with a brace limping down the corridor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;That&#8217;s my biggest problem, to be honest, in this moment. We lost two and maybe a third player. Really bad, really bad. So, yes, that&#8217;s something we have to deal with obviously.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>When asked if Gakpo&#8217;s injury was serious, the German replied: &#8216;Possibly, I don&#8217;t know. He wore a brace. He scored a goal but afterwards, but after that shot he felt it even more. It was from the foul before.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool&#8217;s defeat on Saturday was filled with VAR controversies, including two red cards for the visitors and a goal being incorrectly ruled out for offside.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Refereeing body PGMOL acknowledged a &#8216;significant human error&#8217; in the game and contacted Liverpool following the full time whistle.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/02\/10\/76024657-12583639-Klopp_revealed_the_forward_left_the_ground_in_a_knee_brace_havin-a-3_1696238388937.jpg\" height=\"403\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Klopp revealed the forward left the ground in a knee brace having appeared to worsen the injury when he scored<\/p>\n<p>The disallowed goal came about when Liverpool countered just moments after Jones was sent off. Mohamed Salah played through Diaz, who slotted home, but the goal was immediately flagged offside.<\/p>\n<p>Replays seemed to show the forward was onside and that has now been confirmed by the refereeing body.<\/p>\n<p>Gary Neville slammed the decision on Sky Sports, saying: &#8216;We have the lines on the pitch. These groundspeople never get a line wrong. They are so accurate. Look at the lines on the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;ve defended VAR offsides as a matter of fact. There&#8217;s been a few I thought that&#8217;s not right. To me that one there&#8230; just no. It was all too quick. It was so quick. It wasn&#8217;t right. At the time I was like, OK let&#8217;s move on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;That is clearly Romero&#8217;s foot and Diaz&#8217;s shoulder. There&#8217;s only two players in shot. It&#8217;s almost now like what are they doing? They&#8217;re picking the wrong cameras to do the lines on&#8230; the wrong angles. It&#8217;s just weird! Something doesn&#8217;t feel right.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Fellow Sky pundit Jamie Carragher posted on X: &#8216;Shocking mistake, but this is nothing to do with the drawing of lines. The VAR have missed the Spurs centre back &amp; have gone off Diaz clearly ahead of the full back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This season when an offside has been obvious they have tried to speed it up by getting the game going quickly again &amp; not drew the lines. An awful mistake to not see the Spurs defender with the outstretched leg.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/02\/10\/76019319-12583639-PGMOL_has_acknowledged_that_Luis_Diaz_s_goal_against_Tottenham_w-a-4_1696238593579.jpg\" height=\"409\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>PGMOL has acknowledged that Luis Diaz&#8217;s goal against Tottenham was incorrectly ruled out<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/02\/10\/76019809-12583639-beIN_Sports_drew_their_own_lines_on_their_broadcast_to_show_how_-a-5_1696238612194.jpg\" height=\"379\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>beIN Sports drew their own lines on their broadcast to show how the goal should have stood<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12583639\/Liverpool-star-Cody-Gakpo-set-weeks-leaving-Tottenham-defeat-knee-brace.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool star Cody Gakpo is set for &#8216;several weeks out&#8217;
