Ryan Gravenberch Injury Update
Ryan Gravenberch missed the last few matches for Liverpool after twisting his ankle playing against Manchester United on October 19. He also had a minor hamstring problem from international duty earlier this month. Manager Arne Slot said Gravenberch is the player likeliest to return, ahead of others dealing with injuries.
Gravenberch’s return would be good news for Liverpool since the team lost six out of seven recent games and needs midfield options back in action.
Gravenberch missed matches against Crystal Palace, Brentford, and Frankfurt. Most sources say he has a solid chance of playing against Aston Villa. Slot said in a press interview after the Crystal Palace game that Gravenberch could make it back in time for Saturday’s match.
Slot also said the other injured players, including Curtis Jones and Alexander Isak, will be checked during training closer to the game.
The injury seemed bad at first. There was some talk that Gravenberch might be out for six weeks. Now, the signs are much better. Returning within two weeks signals a faster recovery than expected. Gravenberch’s ankle sprain is still a concern, so Slot will watch his fitness closely right up to match day. If he does not recover well during training, he might sit out another game, though most reports say he looks ready for a return.
Liverpool faced problems in midfield during his absence. With Gravenberch back, other options like Szoboszlai and Wirtz can complement him. Liverpool needs Gravenberch fit to help steady the team’s poor form and get better results. Fans and staff will keep an eye on his fitness updates right up to kickoff against Aston Villa.
In short, Gravenberch is close to being fit again. He was unlucky with injuries but seems ready to play for Liverpool soon, maybe even this Saturday.
