Liverpool’s victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers secured them the top spot in the Premier League on Saturday, but some concerns arose regarding one of their players after certain images circulated online.
While the issue doesn’t appear to be significant enough to sideline the player completely, the fact that Liverpool’s No. 38 was not involved in their League Cup clash against West Ham United has led to speculation that the 22-year-old midfielder might be managing a minor fitness issue. This absence raised eyebrows, especially given the player’s recent strong performances since joining Liverpool from Bayern Munich.
The player in question, Ryan Gravenberch, has made a notable impact in the squad, quickly settling into Jurgen Klopp’s system and demonstrating his skill on the field. His impressive form has been a key factor in Liverpool’s solid start to the season. However, if this potential injury turns out to be more serious, it could be a setback for both Gravenberch and the team as they navigate a packed schedule of Premier League and cup fixtures.
After the Wolverhampton match, Liverpool’s left-back, Andy Robertson, posted a photo on Instagram that drew further attention to Gravenberch’s condition. In the image, the Dutch midfielder was seen with noticeable strapping around his ankle, adding to concerns about a possible injury.
While the extent of the issue remains unclear, the fact that Gravenberch wasn’t risked in the cup game suggests Liverpool may be exercising caution with his recovery. Given how well he has integrated into the team and the pivotal role he is likely to play going forward, fans and club officials will hope that the ankle strapping is merely a precaution and that Gravenberch will be available for upcoming matches. His presence in the midfield has been a major boost, and any extended absence could be a significant loss for Liverpool.
