Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenbirch was injured in the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at the weekend.
The Dutch international is one of the club’s best players and his injury layoff would be a huge blow to Liverpool. They are already struggling, losing four games in a row.
Losing their best midfielder will only weaken them further. It will be interesting to see if the midfielder can return to action soon. Liverpool will be hoping the damage is not too serious.
Ryan Gravenbirch out with ankle injury
A grade 1 lateral sprain could allow Graven-Birch to return quickly, according to a social media post by a physio scout. However, images of his injury suggest it may be a ligament injury. In that case, he could miss more than six weeks.
Liverpool will struggle with Grabenberch’s injury
Liverpool still do not know the true extent of the damage, with manager Arne Slott waiting to see how long they will be without their key midfielder. It has been a disappointing few weeks for Liverpool and they will no doubt be hoping for some luck on the injury front.
Liverpool already lack quality and depth in midfield and losing the Dutch international could be devastating for them. They should have signed a quality defensive midfielder during the summer transfer window, but a serious injury could now put them in trouble.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Liverpool spent a lot of money in the summer transfer window, but few would have expected it to be like this now. They lack any form or confidence. If we lose a key player to injury at this stage, the situation will only get worse.
