Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has provided the latest injury update on midfielder Ryan Gravenberch ahead of the Champions League clash with Fenerbahce.
The club confirmed on Tuesday that Gravenberch will miss the trip to Istanbul due to a heel injury.
The midfielder has been left out of the travelling squad and will remain at the AXA Training Centre to receive treatment from the club’s medical team.
Gravenberch was an unused substitute in Sunday’s defeat to Arsenal, with Trey Nyoni making his first Premier League start in midfield in his absence.
Liverpool will face Fenerbahce for the first time in their history when the two sides meet in the competition.
Iraola’s side head into the match with a perfect record in this season’s competition, having won all three of their opening games.
Liverpool beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 before recording a 6-3 victory away to LASK and a dramatic 4-3 win over Villarreal at Anfield. They are among the five teams to have won their first three matches.
Speaking ahead of the encounter, Iraola speaks on the injury to Gravenberch and said:
“It’s a day to day thing, it’s a heel injury, it’s about the pain. He’s had some discomfort, he was warming up against Arsenal and was not 100%.
“Hopefully he can be available for the weekend, lovely, but we cannot say no.”
