Gakpo was substituted after suffering an ankle injury following a tackle from Saša Lukić. The Liverpool forward had scored a late equaliser against Germany on Thursday, but was unable to make a significant impact against Serbia. Xavi, the Netherlands coach, has expressed optimism that the injury will not be too serious, stating that he expects it to be a minor issue.
The severity of the injury remains unclear, and it is uncertain whether Gakpo will be able to play for the Netherlands in their upcoming matches against Greece and Serbia. The Netherlands will face Greece in an away match on Thursday 1 October, followed by a home match against Serbia on Sunday 4 October.
