Liverpool have confirmed the 24-man squad that has travelled to Paris for the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie against Paris Saint-Germain.
Gakpo sat out of the Premier League win over Wolves and draw at Aston Villa with an ankle problem but has come off the bench in the Reds' two most recent matches - top-flight victories over Manchester City and Newcastle.
Manager Arne Slot will provide a full update on the 16-goal forward in his pre-match press conference tonight.
The Reds topped the new league phase format with just seven wins from eight games but their opponents will provide a very stern test of the Premier League champions-elect across the English Channel.
PSG sit top of Ligue 1 and 13 points clear of second-placed Marseille.
While they finished 15th of the 36 teams in the Champions League league phase, they took on French rivals Brest in the play-off round and hammered them 10-0 across the two legs.
Former Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele has scored 26 goals for Luis Enrique's men this term and is their top scorer.
He is far from their sole attacking threat, however, after bolstering their squad by signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli in the January transfer window.
The Georgian has two goals and four assists in 10 PSG outings while team-mates Bradley Barcola (17 goals, 11 assists in 39 games), Desire Doue (seven goals, 10 assists in 35 games) and Goncalo Ramos (12 goals, five assists in 24 games) are all capable match-winners too.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said this week: "It will be a very good game, I expect over there, against a team in form.
I think they played very well in their last Champions League game against Brest.
"It will be difficult but these are the games you want to compete in and I am really looking forward to it.
