Arne Slot revealed Ryan Gravenberch was injury free, despite his absence from Liverpool's squad, as he instead looked to allow Federico Chiesa to earn a Premier League medal.

Asked about injuries amid Gravenberch's absence, the Reds boss simply said someone had to miss out and he would look to get Chiesa over the line.

“He’s [Chiesa] on four games and I heard in this country you need five games to get a medal, so he will definitely be on the pitch in the next four games, if not all of the next four games," he said.

Liverpool will be handed 40 silver medals by the Premier League to dish out among their squad and staff after an impressive 2024/25.

Any player who makes at least five Premier League appearances during the season becomes automatically entitled to one.

The Premier League champions have 21 members of their squad who currently fit that criteria.

Additional medals can be sought however, but the consent of the Premier League Board is required.

It will only be granted if more than 39 players have fulfilled the five Premier League appearances criteria.
