Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch becomes the latest name to be added to the Liverpool FC injury list. He suffered a hamstring problem in the goalless draw (as exciting, enthralling and scintillating as it was) with Manchester United yesterday. Gravenberch was forced off after an hour, leaving the Reds with yet another injury in the middle of the park.
The Merseyside club is already dealing with the absences of Alexis Mac Allister (knee issue), Thiago Alcantara (hip problem) and Stefan Bajcetic (calf injury).
