Liverpool have been handed a worrying new injury concern over Ryan Gravenberch with their latest Merseyside derby clash against Everton approaching.
The Dutch midfielder has enjoyed a stellar campaign at Anfield under compatriot Arne Slot as a key part of the Reds team who look set to win the Premier League title at a canter.
Gravenberch started as usual for Liverpool in Sunday’s shock Carabao Cup final defeat by Newcastle, but was replaced just over 15 minutes from time by goalscorer Federico Chiesa.
