“Ryan is just not accessible for the Frankfurt recreation, hopefully he might be accessible on the weekend.
“But it surely’s an ankle damage, we’ve got to attend and see, give him a little bit of time and see the place he’s after we come again from Frankfurt.”
This would be the fourth match Gravenberch has missed this season after lacking the Group Defend as he and his companion welcomed their first baby, earlier than a suspension in opposition to Bournemouth, and later a relaxation in opposition to Southampton.
Curtis Jones is a contender to take the Dutchman’s place within the beginning lineup at Frankfurt alongside Dominik Szoboszlai, with Wataru Endo‘s return from damage providing an alternative choice from the bench.
Liverpool journey to Brentford on Saturday night, and the hope might be that Gravenberch’s ankle settles within the coming days in order that he can play a task within the Premier League fixture.
