A “brilliant” Liverpool player is an injury doubt for his side’s trip to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League, following a fresh update from Sky Sports. The Premier League champions aren’t without injury concerns currently, with Alisson missing in goal, while Ryan Gravenberch limped out on Sunday’s 2-1 loss at home to Manchester United.

On Tuesday, Sky Sports reported that the Dutchman missed training with his Liverpool teammates, suggesting he is a big doubt for the Frankfurt game: “Ryan Gravenberch is absent from Liverpool training after coming off with an ankle injury against Man United on Sunday.” Ryan Gravenberch is absent from Liverpool training after coming off with an ankle injury against Man United on Sunday ? pic.twitter.com/i68WY9sVT7 — Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) October 21, 2025 Gravenberch a potential huge loss for Liverpool Many Liverpool players have underperformed this season, from Ibrahima Konate to Mohamed Salah, but Gravenberch has been one of the few bright sparks alongside Dominik Szoboszlai, playing close to last season’s level. Hopefully, Gravenberch overcomes his ankle issue in time for the trip to Frankfurt, but he must be handled with care, having been hailed by former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy earlier this year: “Ryan Gravenberch, the holding midfielder, plays the ball and then he just continues his run because [Everton] switch off and there’s that big gap again.

When you’re playing against players of such quality, they’re gonna rotate positions… [Gravenberch is] bright, he’s brilliant, by the way, he’s been terrific in the last three games.| Should Gravenberch miss out, it will surely pave the way for Curtis Jones to start, following a promising cameo against United, and Arne Slot must also consider bringing Florian Wirtz into the starting lineup, as well as Andy Robertson, Federico Chiesa and Hugo Ekitike.
