Cody Gakpo Injury Report: Ankle Sprain and GW6 Outlook
Eversion/rotation trauma of his left ankle.
I think we're most likely looking at an injury to the deltoid ligament or a high ankle sprain, but of mild to moderate grade.
Gakpo was seen holding his distal part of tibia and fibula (lower leg), which could indicate a high ankle sprain.
It looks bad, but we've seen way worse eversion trauma than this, and the fact that he was able to walk off and didn't look devastated is a good sign.
He's of course a major doubt for GW6, but I wouldn't feel confident ruling him out of GW6.
