Ryan Gravenberch remains a doubt for Liverpool’s Crystal Palace clash

Ryan Gravenberch could still feature for Liverpool against Crystal Palace on Sunday despite the injury that has kept him out of the Netherlands squad. According to Voetbal International, his availability will depend on his pain levels and whether he is considered capable of contributing.

Gravenberch was an unused substitute for Liverpool against Arsenal and then missed the meeting with Fenerbahçe altogether. His injury also means he is absent from the Oranje selection for the matches against Greece and Germany, although no definitive decision has yet been made about his involvement this weekend.

Manager Andoni Iraola described Gravenberch as the only remaining doubt in the squad and said the midfielder was being monitored daily. “It depends on how much pain he has,” Iraola said, as reported by Voetbal International. If Gravenberch can tolerate the discomfort and help the team, the manager indicated that he would be given minutes.

Liverpool will definitely be without Jeremie Frimpong, Hugo Ekitiké, Giovanni Leoni and Connor Bradley against Crystal Palace. Iraola also addressed the team’s disciplinary statistics, arguing that Liverpool may sometimes be “too honest” in their reactions to refereeing decisions. The side have conceded 188 fouls and collected 21 yellow cards in the Premier League this season, while being awarded only 88 fouls themselves.
