Cody Gakpo laments Jurriën Timber's injury blow as the Netherlands prepare to face Japan, where Liverpool teammate Wataru Endo will line up in the 2026 World Cup opener. He stressed that losing Timber weakens the Dutch back line and forces a tactical reshuffle.
Facing a side that includes Endo adds a personal edge for many Liverpool players now wearing national colors. The coach has hinted at giving younger defenders a chance to step up and maintain defensive stability.
Gakpo called on fans for unwavering support while urging the squad to stay focused on the historic opening match.
