Liverpool suffer Ryan Gravenberch injury concerns (1 Viewer)

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has offered an update regarding Ryan Gravenberch's condition following a scare in his injury during the Europa League victory over LASK Linz on Thursday.

After experiencing difficulties in establishing himself at Bayern Munich, Gravenberch made a £34 million transfer to Liverpool on the deadline day. The Dutch player made his debut as a substitute in the Premier League win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, and he was given his first start in the Europa League match in Austria. Klopp opted for an entirely different lineup in the opening group game, allowing Gravenberch to acclimate to the midfield alongside Wataru Endo and Harvey Elliott.

Gravenberch left his mark on the match by providing an assist for Luis Diaz, who scored Liverpool's second goal in their 3-1 victory. Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah also found the net as Liverpool rallied from behind to extend their unbeaten streak to six competitive games this season.

In the 75th minute of Thursday's away match, Gravenberch was forced to leave the field and was replaced by Salah, raising concerns about a potential injury.

However, when questioned about the midfielder's performance and fitness status after the game, Klopp downplayed any worries about an injury.

"Very good, he told me he had cramp," Klopp told TNT Sports. "That makes sense, it was the first start for a while I think.
"He did really well, for the long time he was the best player on the pitch but in the first-half frustration grew then you saw him getting lost as well.
"It's normal, these things happen but stayed in the game as long as he could, really good moments. He set up a good goal for Lucho, for not knowing a lot about his teammates, it looked pretty tuned."

Despite delivering a promising performance during his first full debut for Liverpool, Gravenberch is expected to return to the substitute bench for their upcoming home match against West Ham United on Sunday.

Liverpool, currently third in the standings, have their sights set on extending their winning streak with the goal of securing a sixth consecutive win across all competitions.
