Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo Expresses Gratitude for Kostas Tsimikas’ Injury Update

Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo has conveyed his appreciation to teammate Kostas Tsimikas for the latest injury update. Tsimikas recently suffered a broken collarbone while playing against Arsenal in December, and initial reports suggested he could face around two months on the sidelines.

However, Tsimikas’ recent Instagram post, featuring a picture of himself running on the grass at the AXA Training Centre, came with an encouraging caption: “Not long now.” This sparked optimism among Liverpool fans, especially in the absence of Andy Robertson.

Responding to the update, Gakpo expressed his gratitude with a simple “Thank you” in the comments section. The Dutch forward is likely relieved to see positive signs regarding Tsimikas’ recovery, considering Liverpool’s need for defensive reinforcements.

With Robertson still recovering from injury, Tsimikas’ potential early return would be a welcome boost for Liverpool. The club recently recalled Owen Beck as a temporary backup at left-back in Tsimikas’ absence. While it’s uncertain how long Tsimikas’ recovery will take, Gakpo’s response hints at a positive atmosphere within the team.

Despite the recall of Beck, the prospect of Tsimikas returning sooner than expected would provide Liverpool with additional options, particularly during a congested fixture schedule. Tsimikas had been performing well before his injury, and an early return would offer him the chance to resume his positive contributions to the team.

Liverpool fans will be hopeful that Tsimikas can recover swiftly and make a significant impact, filling the void left by Robertson’s absence and contributing to the team’s success in the upcoming matches.
