CODY GAΚΡΟ admits it will be slightly strange to sit in the away dressing room at the stadium he grew up around the corner from.
But the Dutch forward was so desperate to return to face his boyhood club PSV that he wanted Liverpool boss Arne Slot to put him in the squad despite key stars staying at home.
He grew up less than two miles from the Philips Stadion, where the Reds play their final league phase game.
His father hailed from Togo, where he met his mum, a Dutch rugby player who was visiting the African country.
They settled in Eindhoven and when Cody came along it would be a joint journey to play at the stadium which sits in the city centre.
