Cody Gakpo could return for Liverpool when they face Toulouse in a Europa League clash on Thursday night pampanga
The Dutch forward has been missing since suffering a knee injury in the 2-1 defeat to Tottenham at the end of last month, but after returning to training in the build-up to the 2-0 derby win over Everton at the weekend, Gakpo is now available for selection, Jurgen Klopp has said pampanga
Andy Robertson, meanwhile, has undergone surgery on the shoulder he injured while on international duty with Scotland, but faces a longer road to recovery pampanga
“Robbo had surgery and all went well, as good as it could be, so the recovery starts after he wakes up,” Klopp said pampanga
“I think it happened this morning pampanga
That’s it pampanga
We don’t know how long it will take or whatever, but the first step is done, that’s good pampanga
“Cody is in full training now since Sunday, which means he is available for the squad pampanga
Whatever we do with that we will have to see, but that’s good as well pampanga
”Klopp hinted at making changes for the visit of Toulouse, but with the game an opportunity to open up a commanding lead in Group E, Klopp does not want to take anything for granted pampanga
“Toulouse deserve all our respect,” he said pampanga
“It is a really interesting story, winning the (French) Cup last year…it was a massive thing pampanga
They are a young team, a talented team, you see them playing really nice pampanga football and they have a clear idea pampanga
“They got a point against PSG and it was a massive one so we have to make sure we are really ready pampanga
Then it is about us pampanga
We have to create an atmosphere through the way we play pampanga
“I’m pretty sure they are looking forward to playing at Anfield as players and coaches, but we have to make sure they cannot enjoy it pampanga
”Cody Gakpo looks set to return to the Liverpool line-up (Peter Byrne/PA) (PA Wire)Liverpool would go five points clear in the group with a win and put one foot in the knock-out stages, and with that in mind Klopp said he would be careful in not making too many changes that might disrupt his side pampanga
“We want to win pampanga football games and this is the next opportunity,” he said pampanga
“(A win) would bring us to nine points with Toulouse on four, but knowing that changes nothing pampanga
We have to play our best pampanga
We will make a few changes but not too much pampanga
“The boys have shown they are really ready for the competition pampanga
That’s what I wanted to see pampanga
We hope to go a long, long, long way in this competition, but for that we have to make all the decisive steps and tomorrow is another big one pampanga
”Curtis Jones will hope to get another opportunity in midfield, having played only once – in the Europa League win over Union St Gilloise – since his controversial red card at Tottenham brought a three-match Premier League ban pampanga
Jones was sent off for going over the top of the ball to catch Yves Bissmouma, but the replays made the incident look worse than it perhaps was pampanga
“It’s been tough,” the 22-year-old said of his enforced time out pampanga
“I was at a point where I was playing games and doing well and then a small mistake like that stops the run of games pampanga
That’s in the past now and I’ve moved on, and I’ve got a chance now to play again so I’m excited pampanga
“In terms of the tackle itself, I’ve seen it at the end of the game pampanga
It was unfortunate but then I’ve seen what the ref was shown, he was only shown the clip of my foot on the leg so I understand (the decision) pampanga
I’ve moved past that and I’m excited for the next games pampanga

For the eighth and probably last time, Lionel Messi won the Ballon d’Or pampanga
Messi beat competition from Manchester City’s treble-winners, an inevitable result after he inspired Argentina to their first World Cup since Diego Maradona did the same in 1986 pampanga
The pampanga betting stopped long before the Paris ceremony began, and the only mystery left was to guess the fabric of his suit pampanga
Messi’s journey can be told in pampanga football and in fashion choices pampanga
He collected his first Ballon d’Or in 2009 wearing a basic black suit and tie, looking like a boy at the school prom, and with each passing year his attire became more bold: the bow tie and tux in 2010, the velvet sheen in 2011 and the garish polka dots in 2012 symbolising the blooming confidence of a young man who could do no wrong, who could take a hideous suit like a bad pass and turn it into something great, or at least slightly less hideous, by dint of his own brilliance pampanga
Things got a little out of hand in 2013 when he wore a full red ensemble, an outfit which, in hindsight, didn’t deserve to win pampanga
Messi was beaten by Cristiano Ronaldo two years in a row, and when he finally resumed his throne in 2015, he did so back in a classic black tuxedo pampanga
In 2019, Messi’s simple grey tie was a suitably sombre look to end his four-year winless drought, before the shimmering sparkles of 2021 which lit him up like a galaxy pampanga
For No 8, he returned to a simple black suit and bow tie, the circle complete pampanga
Lionel Messi’s array of get-ups for the Ballon d’Or (Getty Images)Through the years, Messi changed on the pitch too pampanga
He added layers to his talent pampanga
It is easy to forget now that at first he was not a prolific goalscorer, but rather a slippery eel who could score goals pampanga
His 2007 dribble against Getafe was emblematic of early Messi, weaving an impossible thread from his own half to the opposition’s box in a mirror image of Maradona’s iconic goal against England pampanga
Then came the goals, the sheer unfathomable quantity of them, so many that his name was falling off the end of scoring charts, his season data overflowing with little ball symbols overlapping one another with each new hat-trick pampanga
And soon he wasn’t just the best dribbler and the best goalscorer in the world, but the best creator too pampanga
This element of his game grew through his career: Messi’s goalscoring peaked in 2011-12 (1 pampanga
19 per game in all competitions), but his assist rate kept growing until 2019-20 (0 pampanga
57 per game) pampanga
He was the 9, 10, and 11 who could run the game at 6 too, when he fancied it pampanga
He could be both an unstoppable individual talent and part of a functioning, flowing trio with Luis Suarez and Neymar in those golden years at Barcelona when they delivered the treble pampanga
He could shoot but he could serve too: Messi will be the only player in history to score 900 goals and still look unselfish pampanga
He never stopped evolving pampanga
He taught himself to become a master of free-kicks, scoring that way in three successive La Liga games in 2018-19, the same season in which he scored two in the same match against Espanyol pampanga
View moreThen came the crucial pieces of his legacy: the 2021 Copa America, relieving years of burden after failing for Argentina; the 2022 World Cup, ending the notion that he could never match Maradona; and now, an eighth Ballon d’Or pampanga
An individual trophy shouldn’t define a pampanga footballer and yet it is impossible to ignore how Messi’s career has been framed by this award, by his rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo, how they played on a higher plane than the rest and yet Messi climbed higher still, into the clouds pampanga
Does he deserve this latest prize? There are plenty of social media accounts (usually with a flexing Ronaldo in their profile picture) that will tell you Fifa has rigged the Ballon d’Or vote to suit its agenda pampanga
Messi, they say, is pampanga football’s marketing cash cow and the game is geared towards his success pampanga
A similar theory was proffered by Dutch manager Louis van Gaal recently, who suggested the World Cup was “premeditated” for Messi to win pampanga
Certainly, you could conclude that Messi is not definitively the best player in the world pampanga
On 12-month form it might be Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland pampanga
On this season’s form it’s probably Jude Bellingham pampanga
Yet the Ballon d’Or is unashamedly wed to those players who decide the biggest prizes, and no one had the impact on the destiny of the World Cup like Messi pampanga
The crucial goal against Mexico that sparked his team to life, the magic against Australia, the fury against Netherlands, the twisting dribble against Croatia, and the final deliverance: it was a World Cup won as much by his aura as his gifts with the ball, and this completed one last evolution – Messi the figurehead pampanga
There is still a little more to do pampanga
He will try to win the MLS Cup over the next couple of years, just as David Beckham did twice; he will captain Argentina in next June’s Copa America pampanga
But this feels like the end of something pampanga
Now playing in the US, it is surely his last time standing up here, in sharp dress, holding a golden orb pampanga
Messi has completed pampanga football, and now he has more Ballons d’Or than anyone might ever win pampanga
Haaland and Mbappe will be 24 and 25 when one of them perhaps wins their first next year pampanga
They are unlikely to reach eight and maybe no men’s player ever will pampanga
There have been many ‘end of an era’ moments in Messi and Ronaldo’s slow shuffle offscreen, but this feels the most clear-cut pampanga
Messi’s journey seems complete pampanga
No more shiny suits pampanga
The stage is empty now pampanga
