  "account": "Andoni Iraola has confirmed that Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak will miss the upcoming game against Manchester City. Liverpool FC will be without the duo due to injuries sustained during international duty. Isak suffered a thigh injury while representing Sweden, and Gakpo was forced to withdraw from Netherlands duty due to an ankle issue following a heavy challenge. Both players were deemed doubtful for Sunday's match at Anfield, with Iraola stating that they are not fit to play. Gakpo has an ankle injury and is working to deal with the pain, while Isak has a thigh injury that may not be long-term. Lewis Koumas, a 21-year-old Wales international, is expected to fill the void in their absence. Iraola also provided positive news about Jérémy Jacquet, who is fit and ready to go after recovering from a knock during international duty with France. Manchester City, led by Erling Haaland, will be aiming to secure a victory at Anfield.",
