Ryan Gravenberch was left off Liverpool's travelling squad for their Champions League match against Fenerbahce due to a heel issue. Gravenberch has been dealing with the issue and was limited to brief appearances off the bench. The decision was made to allow him to rest and rehabilitate with an eye to the upcoming Premier League match against Crystal Palace. He was left behind on Merseyside while the rest of the squad travelled to Istanbul.

The news about Gravenberch's heel issue and subsequent exclusion from the travelling squad comes after Trey Nyoni started the past two games for Liverpool ahead of him, raising questions about Gravenberch's status with manager Andoni Iraola. However, it is now clear that Gravenberch's limited playing time was due to his injury. Dominik Szoboszlai and Victor Muñoz, who also returned to action recently, were included on the travelling squad. Jayden Danns was also included on the travelling squad for the first time this season.

Other injury updates for Liverpool include Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley, and Hugo Ekitike remaining long-term absences. Jeremie Frimpong is expected to return after the international break. The updates come as Liverpool prepares for their Champions League match against Fenerbahce and their upcoming Premier League fixtures.

How we label and update stories

Source context

When Trey Nyoni started the past two games for Liverpool at the base of midfield ahead of Ryan Gravenberch it raised more than a few eyebrows, with some wondering if it might even signal that Gravenberch was out of favour with manager Andoni Iraola. It was revealed this week, though, that Gravenberch has been dealing with a heel issue—and simply limiting his minutes in training and to brief appearances off the bench over the past week does not appear to have helped the Dutch international to fully recover from it. That led to news today that Gravenberch would be left off the travelling squad to face Fenerbahce, with the 24-year-old instead left behind on Merseyside to rest and rehabilitate his issue with an eye to this weekend’s Premier League match against Crystal Palace.
