Cody Gakpo had to come off in the first half in Serbia vs. Netherlands with an ankle injury.
Scissor-tackle type mechanism forced Gakpo's ankle into eversion + external rotation.
This mechanism raises concern for a syndesmosis/high ankle sprain. Scans will need to rule out any lower-leg fractures.
Expected Recovery Time:
Moderate-grade syndesmosis/deltoid ligament: 3–6 weeks
High-grade syndesmosis: 8-10+ weeks w/ surgery
Gakpo will be lucky to escape any lengthy time out with the nature of the tackle.
However, scans will be necessary to determine the length of the time out.
