Ryan Gravenberch was not part of Liverpool training ahead of their flight to Germany on Tuesday, with the midfielder set to miss the clash with Eintracht Frankfurt. He was considered a doubt for the trip to Frankfurt and his absence was confirmed in Liverpool’s open training session on Tuesday.

It is therefore almost certain Gravenberch will not be among the players travelling to Germany, with the club expected to name their squad shortly. Liverpool’s outfield squad training for Frankfurt Defenders: Van Dijk, Konate, Gomez, Kerkez, Bradley, Frimpong, Robertson Midfielders: Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Wirtz, Jones, Endo, Nyoni Forwards: Salah, Isak, Gakpo, Ekitike, Chiesa, Ngumoha The 32-year-old is unlikely to start against Frankfurt but will be a useful option particularly in light of Gravenberch’s injury.

Nyoni has started for the U19s in both of their games so far but Gravenberch’s setback could see him called into the senior squad. Mac Allister remains available, however, and will be part of the squad to face Frankfurt.
