Jurgen Klopp could reportedly hand Ryan Gravenberch his first start for Liverpool today against LASK.

According to the Reds’ official website, the 21-year-old midfielder could be named in the Liverpool starting XI for the first time since signing for the Anfield side this summer.

Gravenberch was a deadline day signing from Bayern Munich as the Dutch talent became Liverpool’s fourth and final addition of the summer window, though the midfielder is yet to start a game for the Reds.

Lauded as ‘incredible’ by Anfield Index, Gravenberch is arguably the most exciting talent Liverpool signed this summer, and the midfielder could finally be given a start for his new club later today.

The UEFA Europa League will present Klopp with a chance to make wholesale changes to his starting XI and to experiment with fringe players and youngsters in his system.

And Gravenberch could be one of the many names who can benefit from featuring in Europe, with LASK an ideal test for the new Liverpool midfielder.

LASK will be a good test for Liverpool in their return campaign in the Europa League, and Gravenberch could be ideal to start for the Reds.

The midfielder is yet to really prove what he is capable of having made just one substitute appearance for the Anfield side since joining this summer.

And a start against LASK could be ideal for Gravenberch, who might emerge as a key player for Liverpool in the months to come in both Europe and the Premier League.
