Ryan Gravenberch is a major doubt for Liverpool’s Champions League clash in Eintracht Frankfurt this week after being forced off during the dismal Premier League loss at home to Manchester United. The Holland international twisted his ankle when challenging United forward Bryan Mbeumo during the early stages of the second half in the Reds’ 2-1 defeat on Sunday afternoon.
Gravenberch attempted to play on for a few minutes before admitting defeat and being replaced by Curtis Jones.
And the midfielder will now undergo tests on Monday before a decision is taken on his inclusion for the squad that heads out to Germany the following day for Wednesday's game.

“I took Ryan off because he twisted his ankle,” confirmed Liverpool boss Arne Slot. “So yes, he is an injury concern. We have to wait and see tomorrow.
“We have to play in a couple of days again, we have to play three games in seven days again like we had to do after the last international break, so there’s not a lot of time to recover.
“The good thing is we have more than one good midfielder.”
Liverpool were without Wataru Endo against United, with the Japan skipper having failed to recover from the hamstring problem he suffered during the Premier League defeat at Chelsea a fortnight ago that ruled him out of subsequent national team duty.
