Liverpool manager Arne Slot has provided an update on Ryan Gravenberch's injury following the midfielder's twisted ankle during Liverpool's 2-1 loss to Manchester United. Slot confirmed that Gravenberch is an injury concern and will be assessed thoroughly by the club's medical staff in the coming days, especially with a quick turnaround and the team playing again within three days.

Slot expressed some disappointment in the team’s reaction immediately after the incident, noting that Liverpool could have managed the situation better once Gravenberch went down. He emphasized the importance of prioritizing player health, acknowledging that the injury was serious enough for the player to require stitches and immediate medical treatment on the pitch.

Due to the injury, Gravenberch remains doubtful for Liverpool's upcoming match against Frankfurt, with the club awaiting further medical evaluation to determine his availability. The timing of the injury puts Liverpool in a challenging position as they prepare for crucial fixtures in a congested schedule.

Slot's update highlights the club's cautious approach to injury management and the significance of Gravenberch’s fitness to Liverpool’s midfield options as they continue their campaign. The medical assessment in the following days will be critical to deciding how soon the midfielder can return to training and competitive play.
