Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch is set to undergo a fitness assessment after feeling discomfort during the Netherlands' 4-0 win over Finland. The midfielder was substituted at half-time as a precautionary measure due to minor hamstring issues.
Gravenberch's potential absence could disrupt Liverpool's rhythm ahead of their crucial Premier League match against Manchester United at Anfield next Sunday. Liverpool manager Arne Slot will be hoping the problem is minor, given the team's existing injury woes, including Alisson Becker's hamstring issue and Ibrahima Konate's quadriceps strain.
Ryan Gravenberch was called up by Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman for the World Cup qualifiers against Malta and Finland this month. However, he was substituted at half-time in the 4-0 win over Finland as a precautionary measure.
Koeman explained that Gravenberch was experiencing minor hamstring discomfort, but it wasn't a serious issue. The coach chose to err on the side of caution and replaced him with Tijjani Reijnders.
Gravenberch's substitution sparked concern among Liverpool fans, but Koeman's explanation should alleviate worries. With the Premier League title race heating up, Arne Slot will be relieved to have Gravenberch available for upcoming matches.
According to The Athletic, the midfielder will now be assessed by Liverpool’s medical team with the very real possibility he could be set for a spell on the sidelines.
The Reds' first match back after the break is against fierce rivals Manchester United.
