Next Injury Case for Oranje: Gakpo Withdraws After Quarter Hour Against Serbia
Cody Gakpo was injured and substituted after just 15 minutes of the Netherlands' Nations League match against Serbia on Sunday, marking another setback for coach Xavi Hernández. Gakpo went down after being tackled by Sasa Lukic in the opening phase and appeared to suffer from an ankle issue, forcing him to leave the field despite attempts to continue. Ruben van Bommel replaced him, earning his second international cap. This injury adds to a series of absences for the Dutch national team, including Brian Brobbey, Lutsharel Geertruida, Donyell Malen, and Justin Kluivert. The severity of Gakpo's injury remains unknown as the team prepares for upcoming matches against Greece in Thessaloniki and Serbia in Eindhoven.
