Writing on X, Pearce said that Gravenberch is out of the Fenerbahce game through injury, having had a heel issue before the weekend defeat to Arsenal: “Ryan Gravenberch misses Liverpool’s CL trip to Fenerbahce with a heel injury. He was hampered by the problem prior to the weekend – hence why he didn’t come off the bench v Arsenal.

Gravenberch was left out of Liverpool’s side to face Arsenal at the expense of Trey Nyoni last weekend, but even if he was fully fit, he didn’t merit playing, with Jamie Carragher discussing Andoni Iraola’s no-nonsense approach: “He dropped Gravenberch really early, after the first game of the season, away at Newcastle. He’s left [Milos] Kerkez as out, a player who he knows before as well.

He’s changed the wingers in and out at different times. Not that he can’t come back, but Iraola’s saying he’s got more trust in a 19-year-old kid who’s only getting better and his career is going one way.
